Quick: Do you
know where your birth certificate is?What about the warranty for your digital camera? Chances are they’re
buried in one of the many piles that plague you—along with everything else,
from newsletters, to pay-stubs, to grocery receipts, all cast amidst paper
mountains. You’re not alone.In fact,
most people are beset by paper; it’s hard to know what to save, how to
categorize and file.
Unless your filing system is 75% effective, I
recommend starting from scratch.This
project can take a full day (or weekend), but the payoff is....
Hi ~
I love the color-coding addition to the filing system - it has helped me tremendously. I have even carried it over to my 'e files'... I use Outlook as my primary email/calendar. Both Emails and Calendar events are color coded using the same color and topic as my hardcopy files (whenever possible). Helps me stay consistent, and - ta da! - remember where to find stuff whether hardcopy or softcopy!

Have your organizing book. One real question. Where do you buy a box of folders that have only one tab and that tab is in the same location through out the supply? Of course I could reverse some of the folders. However, that still leaves at least one set of folders not usable (Unless I have more than 2 file drawers. Which I do not have. Is that what is meant?) If anyone knows where to buy single color folders with shared location tabs, please post it here.
Thanks
