From my 20 Step Office Organizing Checklist, the task for this week is:
Try colored folders to keep track of papers
As a Professional Organizer I know many people tend to be visual. They like to see their action files clearly, so they can stay focused on what needs to be done.
There are many options to use color to make filing more fun. Colorful tabs as with the Freedom Filer System, colorful files as with the Rackitfile System and more. Just check out you local office supply store for idea's.
Tip: Be consistent with your choices. If you decide red is for action and green is for finance, don't use the wrong colors later on. Stay on top of your stock to make sure that when you need to create a new folder that you have the right colored folder to use. Otherwise the meaning gets lost in a rainbow of files later on.
