Working at the command line

The structured nature of the Johnny.Decimal numbering system lets you move to any folder with the minimum number of keystrokes using tab completion.

At each level, you know with certainty that there will be no conflicting items.

Script your way around

Easier still, use a simple bash script to change to any directory immediately. Put this in your .zshrc or equivalent.

cdj() {
  # Update with your document root folder
  pushd ~/Documents/*/*/${1}*
}

export cdj

And now switch to any directory with cdj 11.11.
