As The David would attest, manilla folders are the key to keeping your workspace sane and tidy. He mentions that it’s always a good practice to keep a healthy supply of manilla folders on hand. Every piece of paper that is not in your inbox should be in some type of container, and that container better be labeled big and bold! The thinking goes that, “Hey, folders are cheap– use lots of them!,” but something inside me finds that a bit wasteful. Sure, the paper bits from my Western Digital rebate should be in a folder, but I don’t want to waste a whole folder on something that has a lifespan of a day or two.
