Smart organizing solution for hanging file folders

Filing papers away is only useful if you can quickly retrieve it when you need it again. A great way to store important documents is to simply move hanging file folders from your cabinet to a “banker’s box” and add a label to the outside.

Keep your files organized with Dropbox - now accessible from anywhere!

Because I am often away from the office and some of our team members work from virtual offices, having an easy way to share files is critical. That’s why we use Dropbox – a web-based application that lets multiple people collaborate on documents and quickly share changes. It also means you don’t have to worry about losing a file if you misplace papers or forget your briefcase.

Collecting clutter in a drop zone

As you enter your home, are you prone to dropping keys or hanging up a jacket in the same location every day? This is the perfect opportunity to set up an official drop zone and stop clutter in its tracks. Even in the smallest spaces, a series of hooks can serve as a place to hang purses, tote bags, coats, umbrella, and the dog leash. A side table or wall-mounted shelf can act as a home for your cell phone, mail, keys and a pad of paper for notes and shopping lists.
