I had similar challenges as well with the Archive/Resources/Areas. I didn't like the extra mental overhead to determine if something was categorized a certain way.
I ended up combining Archive/Resources/Areas into a Knowledge folder and then using the root folder to hold everything else.
If anyone is interested, I wrote about my simple system here:
I agree with the author that its difficult to decide between Areas and Projects and appreciate his take that all Projects belong to an Area - insightful. One of the changes I've made to the system is to refer to Resources instead as Records. I like to take daily notes and keep to-do lists, summarize/link articles etc which usually have some type of temporal resolution and may not always fit in a specific project/area. So far I like it better than my old method of categorizing things by date and type and it meshes well with my fairly simple Obsidian environment.
