How I Make Filing Papers More Fun
I've never been a fan of filing papers. It's kind of boring
for me. So, to keep myself motivated, I always challenge myself to beat the clock or set goals while organizing.
For example, I see how quickly I can sort through a pile of papers or aim to
complete a specific number of folders within a set time frame.
By turning the task into a game, I've turned a boring task into a little game I play at the end of each day. It's much more
tolerable and I've been doing this consistently for months now! I'm not caught up yet, but I'm getting there.

The More Fun My Filing System is, The More I'm Motivated to Keep it Nice
I recently purchased patterned file folders. This one tiny action has made such a huge difference, for the better. I love my file folders, and I'm way more apt to file these days than I used to
be.

Adding a Touch of Creativity to Some of My Paper File
Folders
While I use "normal, descriptive" category names for the files that are in my filing system (like Bank Statements, Appliance Manuals, etc.), I add a touch of creativity to
a few of the file folders I keep on my desk at home.
For example, I have one folder titled "Adventure Awaits" for my travel-related documents and another called "Dreams and Schemes" for my personal goals and aspirations.
