How to Organize Home Office File Drawers
Step1
Take blank file folders and, using your black marker, label them to represent different categories.
Step2
Sort through your current papers and materials and put them into the appropriately labeled file folders.
Step3
Divide your files into two categories. The first category will be "Home," and should include items such as bills, car and health insurance and home-budget materials. The second category will be "Office," and will include everything related to work.
Step4
Take your two separate stacks of file folders and put the categories into alphabetical order. This will make it easy to find what you are looking for. Place your home file folders in one file drawer, and your work folders in a separate file drawer.
Step5
File all new materials and return used materials immediately after use, so your work area will remain neat and organized.
