    Pro-tip: when saving files on a computer type the date at the beginning of the file name as in year/month/day format, but without the “/” e.g. today would be 20230810. This makes the files automatically arrange in chronological order.

      Pro-pro-tip: use the iso8601 standard: 2023-08-10. Why reinvent the wheel?

      As i’m Hungarian, this is how everyone uses it here. Usually dots instead of dashes. It’s a “pro” language.

        ISO 8601 allows either dashes or no separator, both 20230810 an 2023-08-10 are valid, but not 2023.08.10 .
