Be Smart About Naming Files
Unless you are one of the lucky few in the access-to-justice community with a real document management system, there's a chance that you are still forced to come up with your own file names and put those documents in folders, like me. This not an easy task. If you look in my folders, at the top level you'll currently find files named "Hello.doc," "projects.doc," and "states.xls"--not particularly noteworthy names. I pity the person who has to go through my files if I get hit by a bus.
For those of you who struggle to name files appropriately like I do, check out Get-It-Done Guy's podcast on file naming conventions. He provides some great, easy recommendations to improve how you name files. - K
