  Rather than having sticky notes all over your desk for things you want to get done, put the tasks on your calendar.    For some people that is a traditional filing cabinet system, but others might find more success with cubbies in their office.  When in doubt, schedule it out!

Clean Out Your Files It’s easy for your cabinets and folders to become overstuffed with outdated paperwork, so it’s important that you take time once a year to purge the old and make room for the new. Start with your reference, client, and financial files. When January 1 hits, you should be able to file any new document in seconds!

I stand back, and begin moving notes until the ideas start flowing into easy categories: Blog, Projects, Home, Family, Health - etc. Create email folders same as you would for word doc and paper files.
