Hello friends! How are you? Are you tired of looking at your pending file of incoming mail, bills, to-do's and other items that your file tray is a catch-all for? My guess is that it looks nothing like this here pictured to the left! This is my pending file- placed in an attractive basket and categorized into eight sections using durable write-on plastic dividers with pockets.

So, here is what my pending file looked like BEFORE -> -> ->
Look familiar? What I hated about this standard pending file tray was that it was basic, unattractive, typical, and it ended up being a catch-all for anything and everything paper-wise. I wanted something that was attractive, more functional, easy to carry to the living room to work on, and I needed a system that would allow me to manage all the paperwork on a consistent basis, thus avoiding the inevitable pile that my current system created.

As an organizer, I have become acquainted with other professionals in my industry that have created systems that worked for them and their clients. One of my new friends in the business, Lisa Woodruff- Professional Organizer and owner of Organize365 in Cincinnati, Ohio, created the Sunday Basket as a weekly paper organization and planning tool.
Once I knew this was the system for me and that it was one that would work well in many households, I became an affiliate for her e-Book. You can link to it here and get 10% off by using the coupon code NICOLE to start your very own Sunday Basket -> -> -> Be sure to check out all of her Etsy products, as they are all great, and the coupon code NICOLE will apply. |

And, a link to the Avery Durable Write-On Dividers with Pockets:
You can write directly on the tabs with permanent marker (much easier than by using a ballpoint pen). If you make a mistake or need to change the purpose of the tab, you can remove the ink with a little rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball.
