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

I find that all the things I tickle in a day have yet even to come close to filling a "clear pocket" which is just a thin, hole-punched plastic sheathe which goes in a notebook. That and manila folders are inexplicably difficult to locate in the UK. Anyway, these things are thin, meaning I can easily fit them all in a 1-inch or so binder, even with other paper etc in there. They can hold maybe 50 sheets of paper in each one? Maybe more? And I never tickle anywhere close to that. I guess the only downside is it's slightly more annoying to open/close the binder rings to rotate the sheathes. But this takes like 1 second per day, so it's not a huge deal. The major advantage is that literally you can fit your tickler in an inch or possibly half inch binder, unless you're tickling... i dunno, huge stacks of paper or something. (In that case, I file the paper, and put a single sheet that reminds me where I put it). As for filing, I just keep a stack of straight-cut folders in a drawer. I just don't have all that much paperwork in my life. » POSTED IN:
