Create "My Document" views in SharePoint to see only YOUR files
Link: http://icansharepoint.com/how-to-create-a-my-documents-view-in-a-sharepoint-library/
Here's a quick efficiency booster you can get by making a simple view in your SharePoint libraries: My Documents.
This view filters out all files that weren't created or modified by whoever is looking at the library.
The view hides all files that the viewer has never touched, leaving behind only the files they likely have a need to see. It's a great way to "clean up" a large library and keep the files that matter most within reach for any user.
Instructions are linked in this post. Let me know if this is helpful!

Depending if folders are in use or not I also show people how to "hide folders" so that all the created/modified files are shown in one view without the need to drill into any folders.
- DeletedGood point. I'm planning on covering folders in a future post (as a supplement to my posts on metadata and views).
