Matt’s Idea Blog: Some recent GTD how-tos, tips, and tricks
Indexing filing systems When teaching clients about filing, I sometimes get asked about more complex approaches, including indexing file drawer contents. This is done by creating a master list (on paper, kept at the front of the drawer, or as a file on your PC) that groups files by topic or keyword, and specifies where to find them. Some people find this kind of system helpful (there are some home-grown solutions at Database to my alpha system - is it needed? and commercial programs like Paper Tiger), but generally I’ve found a simple A-Z system with no index works great for most people. It’s simple, inexpensive, and filing and retrieving is fast.
And a second post on the same topic: Secret Filing Hacks from the Masters
I’d like to share some simple filing tips I’ve picked up from clients and fellow practitioners. They’re all low tech but high value hacks that many have found useful. Please share yours as well!
