But I'm glad you agree; your home is a lot like a business so it makes sense to organize your office files just as you would in a business.<BR/><BR/>Janet, I hope my idea helps you. This system has been a life saver for me! And it's great b/c you can tailor it to your individual needs.<BR/><BR/>Your Welcome, Carey. I hope it helps!<BR/><BR/>Barbara, thanks so much for the awards!<BR/><BR/>Mom2Fur - I love Color-coded! I have a few colored folders, but only because it's what my husband had on hand when we got married.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Lori - Hope the system works for you!<BR/><BR/>Kookaburra - I know what you mean! I always had papers everywhere! And finally I just had to do something!<BR/><BR/>DarcyLee - I understand what you mean. Our kitchen table was the catch-all for everything! It was such a mess b/f I started using this system!<BR/><BR/>Susie - I love binders too! I use binders for all of our business files & tax deductions. And I use binders to organize my recipes, coupons, and other stuff. This file box is just a launch pad of sorts, and my file cabinet is only used for bills/statements/etc.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Heather. Hope to see you again soon!<BR/><BR/>LL - It is a constant chore, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>ilovemy5kids - lol! I know what you mean; I can't let the chaos in or it'll take over! My husband thinks I'm crazy!<BR/><BR/>Thank you Shelley & Brooke! I'm glad you like the system!Jerri at Simply Sweet Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424115166869530008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860878532430108389.post-70795207282668638752009-01-30T10:03:00.000-06:002009-01-30T10:03:00.000-06:00i'm impressed/jealous of your system!! :)i'm impressed/jealous of your system!! :)Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793109148879037341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860878532430108389.post-29410074909953418432009-01-30T08:35:00.000-06:002009-01-30T08:35:00.000-06:00I came by to say thanks for letting me know you st...I came by to say thanks for letting me know you stopped by my blog... and I am so glad I did!

But since having 2 little ones, I've totally been over-taken by the paper mess. <BR/><BR/>Hubby and I each have our seperate ares where paper piles up... currently in 2 small dresser drawers... not very organized at all! <BR/><BR/>I'll have to try this out in our house asap.

My problem is getting the papers into it, LOL! I tend to throw them in a pile, and then plow through them every once in a while. (I do keep my bills separate, although I'm not 1000% great on those, either. I'm trying!)<BR/>I love the idea of a temporary file like you have, and I'm going to get working on that. If I could at least have those 'to be taken care of' files a little better organized, it would really help! (I especially love the 'to shred' category, LOL!)Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860878532430108389.post-60866310634071701002009-01-28T12:35:00.000-06:002009-01-28T12:35:00.000-06:00Wow - that's impressive!

This attempt just led to the 'Pile of Everything Else' that's on my desk. Your idea would probably work great for me! Thanks SO much for the inspiration!Careyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16245669152916738961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860878532430108389.post-67485861362934220442009-01-27T20:49:00.000-06:002009-01-27T20:49:00.000-06:00This is on my "to do" list.
