DAE remember when their code was just one giant file? Mine went from 800 lines to 12 files in a month

Six months ago my whole project was a single 800 line Python file named main.py, and every time I added a feature something else broke. Last week I finally split it into 12 files with folders for utils and models, and now when I mess up the login code I only have to scroll through 60 lines instead of hunting for an hour. How did you all figure out where to draw the lines between files when you first started splitting stuff up?
