My favorite professional organizer, Kelly Pratt, talked about a great system for managing paper clutter, on my favorite local TV show, Studio 5. She always has a logical approach to organizing and she thinks of everything.
You can choose any of these colored hanging files to go inside
My hat is off to my husband who suggested I check etsy for file containers. I really didn't think that would be a product one would find on etsy, but find one I did and it's really cool- but don't tell him that.
There are so many pretty folders available to fill those filing containers.
Paper Source has some great vintage-inspired folders
Vera Bradley folders offer loads of color and pattern.
To follow her approach to organizing paper, you need three containers:
- An inbox
- A desktop file or easily accessible filing cabinet
- A container for reading materials
First on the list, an in box. This industrial-looking basket from See Jane Work is pretty great.
This desktop file from The Container Store seems like a practical and pretty solution. It's metal, meaning it will last and be easy to clean (and re-paint if my hankering to spray paint takes over)
The desktop file is part of the Brocade office collection.

This is a vintage file box: The Dandy File- sadly it's already sold, but isn't it cool? It' so compact and unique- what's not to love?
This simple, colorful file box from See Jane Work comes in a variety of colors and would certainly get the job done.
These patterned magazine files from Ikea would be a good solution for a reading material bin and the matching boxes might work as a desk top file.
I love the stripes from See Jane Work

Generally I don't learn blog post regarding articles, however, I would prefer to express that write-up pretty pressured me to be able to have a look at and do them!
