Do you wake up every morning buried in a mountain of loose papers, class handouts, sticky notes, and other assorted detritus? Is that incredibly important paper that's due tomorrow currently at the bottom of your comic book collection?

Don't lie to me - you know it's true. And today, it's time to change things. In this video, we'll go over exactly how to organize and process your PHYSICAL files and folders. We'll cover the 3-location system, as well as how you can digitize your papers in order to get them into your computer's file system (which is a lot better).

Speaking of computers, next week we'll finish this series up with a complementary video on digital file organization.
