Hate Organizing Files? Listen to this podcast on Paperjamming

I love to find new ways to organize business systems.  Anything that will help me save time and be more productive is a must.

I was reading the Active Voice Blog by Paul Lagasse the other day and I discovered his method for organizing files called Paperjamming.  Brilliant conceptual idea!

He divides files into four types and then categorizes them into one of three stages: continuing, one-time or permanent.  Simple, elegant. 

I asked Paul to share his concept on this podcast. He's got great templates too at his blog so listen and then check it out.
