how to keep a folder private

Once you make a private folder secure (password protect, etc) then you have to remember that too.

Just try a folder, instead of encryption of the entire Mac drive ~ that could be less problematic later.

To have duplicates in physically secure location, not encrypted; works good to backup those items.

FileVault? May be too much trouble if you should forget important access PWs.

(These are ideas. However I've few in use for my own files/folders; hard enough to move files between

my four macs in same room. ~ AirDrop, USB flash drive, email, wi-fi, and other ideas; they all take time.)

Good luck & happy trails!
