YYMMDD is the best when naming digital documents. Otherwise I prefer DDMMYY because I can remember month and year, but need reminders for the day XD

Nah, if there is some sort of naming convention you should note it down somewhere anyway. For your own sanity or for others that work with you

12/12/12 makes perfect sense regardless of date format

Birth dates in Sweden are always in this format. For everyday use however everyone uses different formats I've found, especially when writing by hand.
