BEFORE...
This picture actually doesn't do the job justice...I didn't pull the filing cabinet out all the way and there was a whole other section full of manila file folders.
Completely forgot to take a picture of the TOOL...
today it's celery sticks, ate way too much over the weekend.
THE PROCEDURE was the same as Friday's.
After clearing and sorting I tried to file the kids scrapbook folders into this drawer...as you can see that couldn't happen.
These are the hidden file folders...
D says...one word of caution: Be very selective in the material you file and discard the rest of it in the "round file" or the waste paper basket.
D would be so pleased, as almost the entire stack went into the rectangle file (the recycle bin is not round). I haven't looked in these for years so there was no point in keeping them.
If you're having a bad day, I recommend you try chucking some stuff...it will cheer you right up!
I came across a few treasures in my sorting...
(Actually, I had no idea it was lost, or even existed)
While the husband was on his mission I sent him a package on the 24th of every month...it was mostly junk but he was grateful :)
This drawer now holds scrapbook supplies and many years of very cute homemade calendars made by the very talented sister-in-law.
I hope they inspire you.
AFTER...
I can't even tell you how my first thought when I clicked on the page was "How did she get a picture of my file cabinet drawer?" After I started breathing again I realized my drawer is much fuller! Whew!

ReplyDeleteI have the opposite problem...I throw everything directly into the "round file"!
It always seem to forget how much of a pain it is until I realize I threw it away.
