Creating a Filing System - Introduction
by Ellen K. Jordan

Some filing systems use more space than others, one such is the Hanging File Folder system. Hanging files may take more space, but the upside is that you can always find what you are looking for at a glance and have easy filing and retrieval. Whatever file system you choose should have these same qualities.

Once you have selected a file system, you must then carefully select your categories, so that you do not duplicate or confuse your efforts. Many times when we name things, and then have a hard time finding the contents, it was because the category names were not a good fit. When this happens we have to take time to rearrange our files. So, when you put your system together make sure that what you call a file really relates to its contents.

Just like when planning to buy furniture, you look at the room, decide on the color, then the contents and maybe move some things around to make the fit look better and give you more comfort. You need to do the same thing with your filing system. Understand, this system will be with you through moves and business changes. Therefore, you want to take the same concerted effort to enable you to work with ease and comfort.

Our topics will lead you through taming the paper flow and finding what you are looking for. These may be the two most important pieces of any filing system you will come across.
