# Decimal Diary: TGIF and vintage annual reports

> Wednesday's blog posts will be guest appearances by Lucy from now. This week she tells us about tidying up her vintage annual report collection.

Dear Decimal Diary,

Last week I did a little TGIF – [Thank God I Filed it](https://jdcm.al/22.00.0097) – time. And when I was nosing around I found a fun folder I'd forgotten about in `43 Images` in our [Small Business System](https://jdcm.al/15.04).

TGIF is Johnny's idea about spending some time on Friday afternoons filing things properly and neatening your system. When your brain is too tired for other stuff.[^1] It's the kind of thing I put off, and then when I start I can't stop. Now I know about how files [sort beautifully using the date](/documentation/saving-files#sorting-by-year-month), I get a small thrill from tidying up messy filenames.[^2]

The ID I neatened last week was `43.21 Vintage annual reports`. It has some PDFs I'd downloaded for inspiration at some point. The filenames were haphazard and as-downloaded. And since they're annual reports, putting the year out the front makes sense to me. Now they're all lined up and tidy. It's a small win, but satisfying. And I'll remember I have these in the chamber.

If you have any leanings this way, the vintage annual report world can be a dangerous rabbit hole.[^3] And so can filing using the date to sort.
