-
Get cardboard bankers boxes at your favorite office supply store.
-
Take all of the files out of the file drawers in your office and place them in the bankers boxes.
-
Label the box with a big black sharpie so it is easy to read. Use the location of the file drawer as the label. For example, "top file drawer to the right of the desk, front section".
-
Date the box with the day, month and year you are clearing the drawer.
-
Put the box(s) in an accessible place, but not in your office or work space.
-
As you need a file from each of those boxes, retrieve it, create a new folder file for it and file it in your empty drawer once you are done using the document.
-
In a year, two, three (you decide) toss, burn, shred the box. If you have not had to pull any of the files still left in the box, chances are it wasn't important enough for you to leave your desk to get it.
Important note: Any documents that have a legal purpose, for example: leases, mortgage papers, licenses, wills, passports, etc, are not included in this quick fix. All of the originals of these documents should be kept separately in a water proof, fire proof, locked safe. Copies can be kept in your file drawers for easy reference. Most people can fit 7 years of tax's and their back up documents in one bankers box.
