Lack of using git😭

I see almost every day, my-amazing-report-final1a-b-24.xlsx.

If you are not using git at least do yourself a favor and set up some rules around versioning to use every day. Always increment the version, never use words like final, or new (they will be outdated as fast as you write them).

I highly recommend git, but understand that its not for everyone. Just make it intuitive to everyone which version is the latest.
