Just found your blog this month (hey, its only 9 months after you originally posted this, not bad). Love the idea of having basket for filing, that limits how much you can pile. My hubby is in charge of paying bills. He pays them each week, and during that week, a small pile collects on the corner of the dining room table. Then during the weekend, one of us (usually me, because I use the table to fold laundry) will grab the pile and add it to the ever growing pile on the floor IN FRONT OF the filing cabinet (okay, its actually 3 piles, and they’re each about 2 inches tall, eeek). I’m going to attack the files in the coming weeks, and the first step will be to get a basket to help us put a limit on what piles up. Seems so simple, but thanks for sharing it with us organizationally-challenged folks.

Pretty basket. I love the idea of using it to create a limit. I kind of do the same thing with my inbox, but there are times when it is overflowing or stacked almost the ceiling before I get to emptying it.

I HATE filing! I will put off filing until I no longer can see my desk! Great tackle.

Filing:( I have avoided buying a filing cabinet just so I have an excuse not to file, but eventually the pikles just get to be to much. Great job with your tackle!

I think it’s great that you set a limit as to how far you’ll let the pile go before filing it. We’re a family that is okay with filing . . . we just do it right away. Now, going through the files . . . that’s another story! LOL! I have way to many early childhood resources in files that I don’t use b/c it is just too overwhelming to look at those files. Binders might be a better idea . . . you think? We’ll see what we do. A tackle for another month maybe. :0)

‘Why don’t you just file as it comes in – takes one second to do and then you wouldn’t have to face a pile? That’s what I do – simply because I hate a pile of filing waiting to be done and calling at me to look after it’

Not as easy as it sounds!

I don’t like filing either. I usually keep papers in a pile, then another pile … then another pile before it actually gets done! I purged before we moved (about a year ago) so I’m good there, but I have a lot to go through today! LOL
