Basically you need to abstract some entity/object that you're going to use into its more basic form and use subdirectories for each level of abstraction (a player is an actor and thus we use actor/player; a box is part of the world, and is a level so we can use levels/common/decor/box or something like that). Once you have the most basic abstraction done, anything that belongs to that abstraction will have all of its assets/sounds/shaders/etc in it's directory.
