For the last couple of years, I've been trying to get better at my local file management, particularly for work files. I've set up a decent folder structure and have templates of commonly used files, and that's all fine, but recently I've been trying to get into using Finder tags (I think that's what they're called) and it feels like I'm missing out on what could be a really powerful tool for finding documents later.

I've tried Googling around and haven't found much, so either I suck at Googling, I'm calling them the wrong thing, or they aren't as useful as I think?

So, please, tell me about how you use the multi-coloured dots. Do you have any tips for setting up custom tags, is there any way to use emoji or any other visual stuff in tagging? Any good videos, articles, blogposts, or apps that might make using them more intuitive?
