As women, I’m sure each one if us have confronted the issues of filing huge collection of papers piled in different corners of our houses. We keep ignoring till some time or I must till as much time possible but when they start spilling over here and there, the real issue of managing them comes up.I have had a many a women asking me about how to properly file these papers strewn all over their house and most importantly from where to start all of it. So here are some tips which I hope will help you organize this entire task.
Here’s how!
• The first thing will be to buy a file cabinet for yourself.
This is because having a filing cabinet with hanging folders is the first step towards handling your home files in an organized manner. If you can’t afford it or don’t have enough space to place one in your room you can also file your papers in a two drawer file cabinet which almost resembles a chest.
• Now the second step is to choose filing supplies. You must buy a box of hanging file folders as well as a box of single file folders in any color of your choice. Choosing colorful folders will also add to your interest in maintaining the papers.
• Now sort the papers in systematic piles according to their categories such as health and medical papers together, insurance papers in one place, all kinds of manuals in another pile and so on.
• Count how many main categories you have and provide a label hanging on each folder for reference.
• The best way is to hang all the hanging folders in an alphabetical order.
• The sub-categories to the main ones should be manila file folders inside the concerning hanging folder.
Hence you see that in this manner, you can organize all your papers in a sequential form without losing reference on any of them. Once you have achieved this, all you have to do is employ only 15 minutes of your weekly schedule to manage the new ones piling up. Moreover, a home piling cabinet will also add to the beauty of your home space!
