Make a dedicated subdirectory for your project, place all your files there (or symlinks to your files), and use relative paths instead of absolute paths. Not only will this allow you to avoid typing long path names, but it will also make your project directory self-contained and portable (e.g., to different locations on your machine, or even different machines).
