Filing Systems Rule The World!Okay, not really but they are important. Filing systems are the heartbeat of taming your paper clutter. You don't need an extravagant system in order to file away your important papers. Anything can be used to start a system. Below are two of my favorites that I use with my clients. I am still on the hunt for more filing solutions so check back often to see what has been added. 1. Paper TigerI personally use this program in my home office and my personal files too. I find it to be a great organizing tool for people who don't like to file because of having to alphabetize or make new file folders with names. I have used this system with my clients who have ADD/ADHD. It works great for them because they can file according to number and use the keyword feature to name the file inside the numbers whatever they like. Because of the option of using it on your computer or printing out the file index, filing for anyone who just doesn't have time has become a whole lot easier. Paper Tiger can be used to organize just about anything from books to CDs and whatever you might want. Using the numbering system, you can set up files for each project if you wish. The possibilities are endless. Find anything in your office in 5 SECONDS or less - Guaranteed! 2. Home FileThis is a really neat system. My mother uses this system because she is chronically disorganized and she likes how simple it is to use. The Home File system uses printed divider cards that can be used with hanging file folders and manila folders. Categories are printed right on the divider with instructions for what to file and what not to file in this category. It also tells you how long to retain the information that you file away. Genius! This is great for financial filing and home filing.
