Storing Information

1. By Descriptive Name:

   • Describing the content of the file in its name is very useful because you can locate your content without having to open it.
   • Recommendations
     • -Avoid special characters
     • Use capitals
     • Use 25 or fewer characters whenever possible

2. By Date:

   • Distinguishing the files by creation date allows us to know the order in which they were generated and worked.
   • Use date format ISO 8601: YYYYMMDD

3. By Project:

   • Categorizing by Project allows us to group all the files related to a project and distinguish them from differ- ent projects, these files could keep the same charac- teristics in their nomenclature, and therefore, confuse us.

4. By Directories:

   • Grouping files by directories is a useful practice, as long as you have a clear categorization criteria that is coherent with the system itself.
   • Most of the supplemental files are in their own descriptively named folders.
   • No special characters or spaces are used in the file names.
   • Make folders to organize better
