Most people lose important information not because of hacking or device failure — but because they can’t find things when they need them.
This weekend, you can fix that with one simple folder.
No apps. No subscriptions. No tech skills needed.
Create an “Emergency & Important” Folder
Create one folder on:
- Your phone
- Your laptop
- Your cloud drive (Google Drive / iCloud / OneDrive)
Name it clearly:
Emergency & Important
That’s it.
What Goes Inside This Folder?
Only things you might urgently need one day:
1. Identity & Essentials
- Passport copy
- Emirates ID
- Driving license
- Visa page
2. Financial Info
- Bank account details
- Insurance documents
- Loan or credit card info (no PINs)
3. Work & Personal
- Updated CV
- Offer letters
- Important certificates
4. Emergency Contacts
- Family contact list
- Doctor / clinic numbers
- Office HR contact
Why This Folder Is Powerful
- You don’t panic during emergencies
- You don’t search emails at the last minute
- You don’t depend on one device
- You save time when it matters most
Many people only realize this after something goes wrong.
Important Safety Tips
- Do NOT store passwords or OTPs
- Protect the folder with:
- Phone lock
- File encryption (if available)
- Keep one cloud backup
