Life Orientation Grade 12 - Practice Flashcards (Video Notes)

This note outlines best practices for managing personal and professional documents, covering organization, security, backup, and accessibility. Documents should be logically categorized (e.g., financial, medical, legal) and organized consistently, whether physical (labeled folders) or digital (hierarchical folder structure with consistent naming conventions like \text{YYYY-MM-DD_DocumentName_Version}). Security involves storing physical documents in secure locations and shredding sensitive ones, while digital security requires strong passwords, encryption, updated antivirus, and reputable cloud providers. A robust backup strategy, like the 3-2-1 rule, is crucial, with automated backups and regular testing, alongside understanding retention policies. Finally, accessibility and recovery include having an emergency plan, using version control for edited documents, and ensuring essential digital documents are portable and accessible across devices.
