Here's another handy one:

  $ find /home/sue -type f -ctime -2

That'll give you a list of any files in your home directory that've
been created or modified in the last 2 days. Useful if you remember
roughly when you last touched a file, but can't remember its name.

You can also supply a partial name - something along the lines of:

  $ find /home/sue '*xyz*'
