Thanks for the great info. Re: the many questions regarding which tab size system to use, it’s up to you. A 1/3 size hanging files will have 3 tabs across the top, meaning you’ll have folders with tabs on either the left, right or center. The 1/5 size hanging files will have folders with 5 tabs across the top: left, center, right, between left and center, and between right and center.

Why did you choose to file your bills/statements by titles (credit cards, bank statements, utilities) instead of the monthly. Trying to figure out which would work best for me. I see on the green labels there is a note that states “Before using labels below, first consider filing receipts and bills by month.”

I notice that there’s two types, 1/3 and 1/5.  The 1/3 one has you putting the papers directly into the hanging files whereas the 1/5 let’s you manilla folders inside.  It looks like you use the 1/5.  Which one do you recommend?   Thanks!

Hi Alejandra I am so lucky I found your Channel. I work as a lead role in a very small space in a doctor’s office. I was wondering if you could give me tips in keeping organized in small spaces. Also I work with a few doctors and when they do procedures they each have a list of specific things they need. How can I put that together that can be super accessible and easy

no goody

Hello Alejandra! I’m interested in buying the freedom filer system but since you uploaded this video in 2012, are you still using it now 4 years later? I don’t want to invest in something that may not work. If you’re still using it and you didn’t outgrow it, I think it’s a winner! Thank you for this video!

TY

Is there a list of the sub categories for each color? Like orange is temp files i need examples

Great information given about the Freedom Filer system including that it comes with the labels and filing directions but not the folders themselves. Also love seeing how it’s managed in a ‘one drawer/cart’ system instead of a huge file cabinet! Thank you!

What’s the difference between the 1/3 and the 1/5th filing system?

In addition to having a paper-file system, I scan all my paper documents with a Fujitsu iX500 scanner and file them in various subject categories/folders on my desktop PC. That leaves only essential paper documents in files, which physically cuts down the size of paper file folders. For example, I keep current copies of tax returns, while my scanned past tax returns go all the way back to the 1980s.

Where did you get your filing cart???

How many hanging file folders do you need to have?

YOUR TOOOOOOO RICH………2FAN 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

how much does it cost?

You really do not need an elaborate filing system anymore – you can store everything on a pen drive and a small closed folder to hold some key documents which still need to be in paper in this digital world like passport, government cards, house title and car titles..

you make the best facial expression. 😉
