How should I name files to avoid confusion over time?

Adopt clear, descriptive filenames incorporating critical context like purpose, date, version, or key project identifiers. Avoid vague terms (e.g., "Document1"). Consistency in naming structure (e.g., ProjectName_20240601_v2_Report.docx) makes files easier to identify and retrieve long-term. Including dates (YYYYMMDD format) and a clear descriptive element is highly recommended for future clarity.
