I hate filing but I hate not being able to find something more!
Deal with every piece of paper as soon as you get it,
make recycling easy and have a box at easy access,
have an ‘in’, ‘bills’ and ‘filing’ tray,
set a certain time in your week to empty the filing tray, never let the tray overflow, remove all paperwork each year, and label all files.
Your filing system will depend on the quantity of paper. Use A – Z folders for small quantities and ring folders with dividers for larger quantities of paper. See-through plastic files are great for reference information you need all the time. Chits or small pieces of paper can be filed in envelopes.
