Files & workflow

Make files easier to find and work easier to hand over. Build simple routines around the documents and tasks you already have.

Build a small naming convention around subject, date, and version so files remain understandable outside their original folder.

Choose a small folder system that reflects how you retrieve work, with clear places for active projects and finished records.

Treat Downloads as an intake area and move useful files into their working context before clearing the rest.

Use version labels to distinguish working drafts, approved releases, and later revisions without relying on repeated final labels.

Capture decisions, owners, and unresolved questions in meeting notes that remain useful after the conversation ends.

Choose a dependable place for new commitments, then turn captured fragments into actions during a regular review.

Reserve time for specific work while leaving space for uncertainty, interruptions, and tasks that finish differently than expected.

Keep important attachments together with enough message context to understand who sent them, why they matter, and which copy to use.

Organize PDFs by subject and purpose, with filenames and search checks that make both scanned and digitally created documents findable.

Name scanned records while their purpose is clear, and verify the complete document before filing or discarding anything.

Check recognized text against the page image before using it for search, quotation, data entry, or decisions.

Build a bookmark collection around the tasks that bring you back to a page, and remove links that no longer serve a purpose.
