Why don't you just drag your applications to your Applications folder, 
your documents to your Documents folder, etc.?

If you need more organization, you can have sub-folders in these folders 
for specific projects or types of documents.

If you have multiple versions of documents that you are working on, why 
not give them unique names having to do with the revision number as you 
create them?
