How I get away with only filing once a year

Posted by Laura on March 14, 2012 · 23 Comments

I hate filing. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I hate the long term filing (not necessarily the day to day stuff). So how do I get around not doing a job I don’t love. I only file once a year. There I said it. And yesterday was that day. When I [...]

I’m the type of girl that loves trade shows and being able to touch and feel new products without having to commit to buying them. I like to hear the spiels and touch the packaging.

Over the weekend I was feeling a little inspired by all of this filing cabinet talk and got to thinking that my own filing cabinet drawer, while functional, was looking a little rough for wear.

What does an organized filing system mean to you? This was the question I recently asked on Twitter and I got some great responses: It means being able to access what I am looking for without destroying my house. Alphabetical, by topic. When my DH asks where the paperwork for “X” is I can find [...]
