Thanks for that link Gins.
As you say we have our own methods but because I'me looking for something a little more organised, I posted my appeal.

After many years of family history researching I have decided to finally collate my efforts into a readable form starting with a ‘write up’ of individuals or families.
With around 2000 names I want to keep each story in a file and am having some difficulty in thinking of series of numbers to keep both my wife and my maternal and paternal families separated in a sensible order.
Might anyone have done something similar and share what they did?
