	* Follow the page title naming convention guidelines		* Follow the page title naming convention guidelines
			* Before you create a new page, know how you plan to link to it from an existing page. Create the link, then the page. Two or three is better.
			* If you can't think of an existing page to link to it from, link to it from the home page; if you think it doesn't belong there, then make an intermediary page and just have one link on that page pointing to the new page. Although, most likely as you by the time you create your first backlink on the intermediary wiki page, you will have already thought of two other bullet points to add - and for those, name the bullet points exactly as the name of the page for them (when that page is created), but don't created it yet (no need, if you have nothing to add yet, and you probably don't have time right now anyway)
	* Unless you already have something else in mind, start with: This page contains notes about...		* Unless you already have something else in mind, start with: This page contains notes about...

	Undoubtedly, you have accumulated many digital files in your life and no one could even guess how many files we will be accumulating in the future. I know the thought of trying to organize things is daunting, but open a new page and call it Personal Data Strategy.

	Let's be honest. Any device you sometimes carry with you when you leave the house could be damaged beyond use at any moment. A little bump; a little shove; in just the right place at just the right time, could knock your phone out of your hand and down a storm drain. Think of these devices as disposable, from a data standpoint. Fortunately, there are low-cost, easy-to-use options for synchronizing just about everything on your phone with a cloud service, but many of them require manual configuration, and I recommend you have a plan before you start changing settings.
