Are File Folders Your Enemy?

Are file folders your enemy? Do you hate them? Do you prefer to put papers together in larger groups that will not fit it a typically file folder? If so, that's fine, just use the following steps to get organized as suggested by Julie Morgenstern:

Sort the papers, placing them into large, broad categories that are comfortable to you
Purge any papers you no longer need
Assign each category of paper a home – what shelf, drawer or box will each category of papers live
Contain each category of paper – instead of putting each category of paper into a file folder, place them in a container/folder which holds 25+ pages of paper, such as the following solutions:
- Colored file pockets
- Colored expanding paper wallets
- Colored fabric file pockets
- Colored quick-file expanding jackets
- Clear expandable string envelopes
Label each container/folder with the name of the category. You may need to purchase and use small white labels
