How to set mac to find/remember folders

As far as I know you can only set the folder any new Finder window opens in (by opening via CMD+N).
A few things you can do;
click on the apple top left and there is a recent items under that, which takes you to recent files
if there are a few folders you work with consistently, or even one you will be using a lot for a few days or hours, then drag it to the left sidebar within finder,and that's effectively a shortcut or pointer to it. You can do the same and drag a folder to the dock (right hand side only I think) , again that's a shortcut to it. In either case, when done, drag it off again, it disappears but you don't affect the original, its just a shortcut/pointer to it.
I don't think there is a way of having a list of say, the last 10 folders used, like you can with files though, that would be neat.
Sure there is! Go Menu > Recent Folders
Or you can use Go to Folder... and type in the name
Thanks! I didn't know that one, and I'm not a novice.
And this one I had forgotten....
Now, to use them 3 times today to make sure I remember these tips.
To the OP - I put folders in the sidebar, it is really useful. But I also open multiple Finders and just leave the one for the folder I'm using open (and minimized if necessary, or in a different Space).
Excellent thanks a lot for that, wasn't aware of it and been using this mac for <cough> months
