I started naming my Photoshop layers after what they do, not what they are.
For years my files were a mess with names like 'Rectangle 1 copy', but last month I forced myself to use 'Main Button Active' and 'Header Shadow'. Finding things went from a 5 minute hunt to under 30 seconds. Has anyone else tried this and found other naming tricks that help?

Honestly the real game changer for me was adding status tags to layer names. So it's not just 'Header Shadow' but 'Header Shadow - DONE' or 'Header Shadow - WIP'. When you're passing files between team members or coming back to old projects, you instantly know what's finalized and what's still being messed with. Saves so many stupid questions and version mix ups.
