Shred or recycle papers
If the files you have are not of importance, don’t let it occupy your desk or filing cabinet. You might mistaken them as one of your files. Don’t even think of throwing them away. You could always use the back pages for your drafts. Confidential files always go to the shredder. You’d rather have them shredded as they might fall into the wrong hands.
Sort by priority
Don’t mix your important files with the drafts you made. You might mistaken it as a scratch paper. Always sort your files according to its importance. Files that need signing should be placed on the spot where you could see it so you won’t forget that those files need signing.
Document filing
In filing, you may use filing cabinets and color coded folders. Filing cabinets have layers. You may use the different layers for different categories of files and documents.
