The first step is to decide how to structure your filing system. Ask yourself: What are the main categories of information that I deal with? Then divide them into sub-categories.
The second step is to create files for each kind of material. Give each file a name. Ask yourself: Is this name helpful when I want that file again?
The third step is to arrange your files for easy access. Ask yourself: Which files do I use often? Whish are important? Put these files at the front of the filing area. Or on a computer, create a short-cut to those files.
