Naming files consistently
Use stable names, readable dates, and short descriptions. Keep working copies separate from finished files. A predictable folder structure reduces the time spent searching for the latest version.
Small Tools
Practical ideas for simple everyday tools.
A checklist for recurring work
Capture the few steps that are easy to forget. Give each item an observable result and update the checklist when the process changes. Keep it short enough to use during the work.
Working with plain text
Plain text is easy to inspect, search, and compare. It is a useful format for notes and configuration when rich layout is unnecessary. Consistent headings make a collection easier to navigate.
