Index Card Storage Box
How to Create a Filing System Using an Index Card Storage Box
File organization is very easy and yet a lot of us fail to do it. How many times you remember driving yourself nuts because you don’t remember where you put an important document? If this has been your dilemma for the last couple of years, it’s time for you to put your organizational skills into good use. All you need is a good index card storage box to keep you sane for the rest of your life.
Here are the steps on how to create a filing system:
1.) Find an index card storage box that would house your documents. These boxes come in different sizes and colors so choose one that will best fit your storage needs. Cost can be anywhere between $5 and $20. Pick a box that comes with a follower box to insure your index cards or files stand upright.
2.) Assemble a stack of documents or index cards that will fit comfortably in the index card storage box
3.) It would be great if you can write down labels for your files so it will be easier for you each time you look. There are a lot of ways to group your files such as by date, by type or by alphabetical order. For my recipes, I like to write them on 3×5 index cards and keep them in an index card storage box. I put labels like appetizers, drinks, entrees, desserts and snacks.
Let your creative side out, use different colors for your tabs or labels. You can even add thumbnail pictures to the labels. Do this for all your important documents like receipts, appliance and gadget warranties, insurance files, etc. My life has been so much easier since I decided to use index card storage boxes to organize my files. I’m a pretty forgetful person so this has tremendously helped my everyday living.
