|

archive | |
mark | |

|
True | |
False | |
To avoid mixing up the filing system, only one person should be in charge of filing papers in one place. Different people have different ways of filing. To keep files in the same order, assign one person to do the filing.
|
get the cheapest one available | |
buy the best you can within your budget | |
get the top of the line - even if you have to go into debt for it | |
You want to buy a file cabinet of the best quality you can afford. The cheapest ones tend to get stuck or something goes wrong. It is best to buy one of better quality. You won´t regret it.
|
highlight the top corner every time you pull it out as reference | |
highlight the title | |
fold the right corner down | |
If you highlight or mark the top corner of the paper, you will know that that file is one that should be kept. Other ones can be tossed over time. If you just highlight the title - that won´t accomplish much if you are just looking through the files. If you fold the corner down, it can become unfolded, and you won´t know if it is a keeper or not.
|
folders with assorted colors | |
hanging file folders | |
paper clips | |
labeller | |
Paper clips should never be used in a filing system! If you have a paper clip holding a few papers together - a paper that doesn´t belong can get stuck in those papers, the paper clip can fall off and it won´t be serving the purpose. If papers should be held together - use a stapler.
|
sticker | |
labeler | |
caddy | |
pen | |
A labeler allows you to mark folders quickly and it is pleasing to the eye. Stickers just add clutter. A Caddy is just for the desktop - not a filing system. A pen can mark papers, but doesn´t really make for an organized filing system.
|
True | |
False | |
If you spend 10 to 15 minutes at the end of each day to file papers and clear off you desk, you can go home with a clear mind and come into the office to a clean and organized desk.
