Just figured out that naming my layers is the only thing keeping me sane
For years, I'd just let Illustrator auto-name everything 'Path 147' or 'Group 23', and then spend 15 minutes hunting for one tiny shape. Last month, a 50-layer project for a local bakery's menu turned into a total mess. Now, I force myself to name every single layer as I make it, like 'background_leaf' or 'logo_text_shadow'. It adds maybe two seconds per step but saves me hours of frustration later. How do you guys keep your files from becoming a digital junk drawer?
