One thing I started doing a few years ago is putting a number before the folder name when organizing things by months. So like for an October 2024 board report I would name the folder 10 - October. That way the folders get organized in numerical order instead of alphabetical.

Phone contacts

If you have people in your contacts, but also need to remember where you know them from, put their company in their name (depending on how the names in your contacts would determine where you put the company name. Ie - if your contacts are sorted by first name, enter the company name in First name BEFORE the person's name.) This will also help keep the contacts from the same company together. **Can be applied to documents about companies as well, if you have multiple company docs in one folder

Single Paragraph

In Microsoft word, replacing ^p with a single space, will collapse all the text into a single paragraph. You can also replace ^p with " -- " Good for copied lists of chapter titles when cataloguing, especially if you take them from Worldcat.
