Filing paperwork

[PotteryLottery]

Thinking about making spare room shelves look neater by using box files rather than ring binders.

Does anyone else do this or will it make flicking through paperwork more of a palaver?

I do for ring binders for active stuff and box files for historic stuff e.g. Things relating to previous tax year. Seems to be working ok so far.

I use document wallets, and follow a MN tip to put everything for one year together in these, instead of categorising into payslips, tax forms, receipts, etc.
It saves time, means I am more likely to file away, and makes it easy to find anything I might need ( not often, really).
