I would love to hear how the literature sorter works out for your office mate!

Janet, loved this idea. I am a “filer” and I keep a rolling cart nearby, but I have a big “piler” sharing the office with me now and he has several projects going on, so I will give it a try with the cardboard option first.
Also like the expandable collator idea. I’m now working on papers with a client and this will help me work better.
Thank you for always sharing such useful and tested by the pros ideas!

Thanks for sharing that, Geralin. I Googled it to see what one looked like, and it wasn't what I was picturing (which turned out to be an expanding project file). This would be perfect for organizers to carry with them, and would be a lot more versatile than traditional desktop organizers which don't allow for expansion. .-= Janet Barclay´s last blog ..The Perfect Product for Paper Pilers =-.

Janet,

A favorite product I use a lot is the expandable collator. It collapses so I can easily take it with me on organizing jobs and it’s light weight.

Clients love ‘em when working on projects.

Jacki, I guess that’s one of the drawbacks of having the movers do your packing.

Karen, that’s a good idea, especially in a smaller office where a literature sorter might seem too bulky, or if the number of projects tends to fluctuate. It could also keep the cork board from getting cluttered with memos and other odds and ends!

I like the big black clips that can hold secure many pages together. They can hang from pegs on a cork board. This allows several projects to be out and visible (but not in piles on the desk) while being separated from each other. That way if more than 1 project ends up on the desk at once, they don’t get intermingled.

I had a cardboard version that I used to store different types of paper in (mailing labels, cardstock etc). The movers unfolded the whole thing and packed it in a box when I moved. They took all the papers out of the cubbies and put them all mixed up in the bottom of the box!

Of course I didn’t have the instructions on how to re-build it but I finally got it back together correctly. It took me an hour to re-sort all the different types of paper into the correct slots.

Next time, I’ll tell the movers to PLEASE leave it in one piece!
