      This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't do specifically what OP did, but often I remember things by when better than by name.
Sorting a folder by last modified/created in descending order generally gets me what I'm looking for pretty quickly
I tend to save things with the name embedded, so "--_" and use the date that's relevant for the file, not necessarily when it was created (e.g. due date for homework, tax return due date, etc). If I don't care (e.g. a downloaded image), I just accept whatever the default is.
