📁
Inbox Strategy

Create a "📥 Inbox" folder for new documents to process later. This prevents clutter while maintaining organization flow.

🏷️
Smart Tagging

Limit to 5-7 tags per document for better organization. Use hierarchical tags like "finance/reports" for structured categorization.

🔄
Automation Strategy

Start simple with automation rules and add complexity gradually. Test rules with small document sets before applying broadly.
