Building a Filing System, Part 2

Now that you're ready to make your files, pick up one of your stacks, say Insurance. Label the tab on a hanging folder (like this one)

with the word "Insurance". Next, using a sharpie (for increased visibility), label the tab of a manila file folder (like this one)

for each, specific kind of insurance represented in the stack, such as car insurance, liability, etc.



Do this with each stack of paper until all stacks are neatly organized in their respective file folders, which are now in their corresponding hanging folders.



Next, you'll need to hang your files in alphabetical order, or in the order that makes most sense for your thinking style.
