Index Card File Cabinets
How To Organize Documents in Index Card File Cabinets
How many times have you seen your desk cluttered with paper? Do you always drive yourself crazy finding documents that are really important?
If you answered YES to these questions, you really need a good filing system.
You won’t believe how much time you can save by having an efficient filing system. Not only that, you also bring your stress level a few notches down. Index card file cabinets can do this job for you as they are great for storing your files and other important documents. They are also unbelievably affordable!
You can also easily personalize them using different methods: decoupage, stencil and glitters. You can also paint them with your favorite color and write on the lid.
You can find index card file cabinets in your local office supplies store or you can order them online. Amazon.com has a wide selection of these supplies. Make sure you buy the size that will best fit your files. It must be as large as you need it to be. Most people do not really need a huge, commercial-size cabinet and they get by just fine with small index card file cabinets.
Go through all the papers, documents, notes, letters, receipts, warranties and anything else written or printed on paper in your house. Arrange them in stacks and then label your files accordingly. I like to label mine like this- car insurance, house insurance, birth certificates, transcript of records, utility bills, legal documents, etc. If you don’t want to create your own tabs or labels, you can just buy them.
File everything in neat stacks in the corresponding boxes. It would be better if you can label the index card file cabinets according to year. Put the file cabinet in your home office or bedroom or anywhere that is easily accessible for you. Some people like to put them though in storage closets, the basement or the attic.
