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

What I like about the classic tickler file (that you make yourself of file folders) rather than the 1-31 accordian-style is that "today's" file is always at the front. There's nothing to making one -- you just put 1-31 on folders, and Jan-Dec on other folders, and it's made. If you get the PTouch Labeler (which I definitely recommend) or have neat penmanship (I don't, which is why I like the PTouch) they look as nice if not nicer than something you'd buy. One tip that someone shared here that I've really liked is this -- Since you presumably are going to pull "today's" file first thing, and put it in your inbox "to do" today -- Anything new that comes in today that doesn't have an obvious process attached to it can go in "tomorrow's" file to get processed tomorrow, if you like. It keeps your desk and mind clear. » POSTED IN:
