Home Tips > Tips By Category > Tips you can implement daily File groups of paper in hanging folders and interior (manila) folders. Label each hanging folder with a main category and place the interior
folders, labeled with subcategories, inside.
When filing, place newer papers in the front portion of the interior folder, rather than the back.
Limit the number of interior folders to four within each hanging folder.
If an interior folder continues to grow, create a separate hanging folder and place the interior folder, separated into one or two additional folders, within the new hanging folder.
Use colored tabs on hanging folders to differentiate between various categories. For example, client files could have blue plastic tabs and financial files green tabs.
Decide whether you're going to place plastic hanging folder tabs in the front or the back of the folder. Whichever place you decide, be consistent.
Don't fill each file cabinet drawer so full that you can't move files back and forth easily.
Use hanging notebooks as an alternative to hanging and interior folders. A notebook with tabs attached fits in a letter-size file cabinet. Push the
tabs in and it becomes a regular notebook.
