Organizing Your Paperwork, Part 2: Creating a System - 739

Teaching Learning Leading K-12

Organizing Your Paperwork, Part 2: Creating a System. This is episode 739 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.

In part 1 of this series on organizing your paperwork I noted that to get rid of your piles of paper you have to:

1. Handle this now.

2. Set aside time.

3. Create a place to put your paper files.

4. Create a system to file your paper.

In this episode - Organizing Your Paperwork, Part 2: Creating a System I share with you how to make it easy to get out from under your piles by creating a system for filing. I share that you need to get your supplies and locations to file.

1. Get hanging file folder cabinets or furniture that has hanging file drawers.

2. Get hanging file folders with plastic tabs.

3. Get regular file folders.

3. Get a label maker.

4. Decide how you will file using the alphabet.

5. Determine how you will write the name of what is in the file folder.

6. Start filing and get rid of those piles.

Before you know it, you will be pile free and feel less stressed because now your desk is no longer a mess, and you can find your paperwork.

Have fun creating that system and getting out from under your piles.
