Quick Tip Week is here!  Enjoy a week of shorter posts highlighting one tip in each category this week. For series already in progress, I will continue with the next segment following our Quick Tip Week. Embrace this week, add your tips in the comments, and continue using time wisely!

Quick Tip #1: File Documents Consistently

When organizing any filing system, keeping the framework consistent saves you time and energy when retrieving your desired document.

When I place documents in my files, I prefer to place the most recent information at the beginning of the file. This way if I am looking for information about the initial opening an account, I would look in the back of the file for the oldest information.

Whether you use a notebook, accordion file, hanging files, or on-line, choose a framework that works for you and file documents consistently.

By knowing approximately where a document is located, you can find it quickly while using time wisely. Happy organizing consistently!

Question: How do you prefer to organize your document files?
