Creative Filing

Using a filing system is a great way to keep paper where you need it, when you need it. Even more importantly it keeps our homes clutter free.

Get creative with your files; use resource files to keep the one page from a magazine that you tore out and had to keep. Be specific with how you divide these files, so retrieval is easy the next time you are looking for it.

We use a ‘gift file’. Throughout the year, my husband and I place things we would love to receive as a gift on some occasion. That way we can surprise each other with just what we wanted. By the time the gift is given, the receiver has forgotten they even put that in the file.
