Iâm lazy but I also like to have my files organized. Whether itâs notes, photos, or drafts of projects Iâm working on. Labeling my stuff with this date format letâs me create files and put them wherever with minimal effort, and I can easily recall stuff by just sorting them by name. And I donât have to rely on a janky filter like âcreated byâ â modified byâ etc.

Bonus tip: my friend likes to simplify it even further, he prefers YYMMDD (240316). Typically we steer clear from dots (24.03.16) or dashes (24-03-16) for formatting/compatibility issues when moving/sharing files around.
