Keep the useful things close

A short index of frequently used documents and links can save time. Give each item a clear name and review the list every few months.

Make room for a second copy

Important files deserve a backup stored separately from the device you use every day. Check occasionally that you can restore a file from it.

Write for your future self

When you solve a recurring problem, keep a few lines about what worked. A simple note is often more helpful than a complicated system.
