Filing system recommendations for limited space
JasonJ | Jan 26 2007
I'm not only new here but I'm also new to GTD. I've got the audio CD's of David & Co. and listen to these at every opportunity. I'm also half way through the book. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for implementing/purchasing equipment for someone (me) who has limited space in the house. I currently live in a rented small house where there is NO space for an office desk/drawers/In trays etc. I do have a dinning room table however. I do like the idea of the "tickler" system and will be purchasing one of these when I find one that is appropriate. Grateful for any advice someone can give. Regards, Jason 7 Comments

Jason, I agree - get some portable plastic file boxes. They range in size, depending on how many files you have. Some people just use cardboard banker's boxes instead. For the tickler, you can simply make your own using 43 folders and label them yourself: 1-31 and Jan-Dec. Some people like to use the same tab alignment for the folders, e.g., left for days, middle for months. If you had a bit more room, you could try the classic "door-on-two-filing-cabinets" solution. An inexpensive door from the hardware store, and two inexpensive 2-drawer metal filing cabinets from the office supply store. Sounds like your space is too limited for that... » POSTED IN:
