Have you found that it is halfway through the year and you’ve fallen behind on filing? It doesn’t have to be a constant game of “catch-up” when it comes to file organization. If you use a heavy duty sorter, the time it takes to put away records, letters or invoices will decrease. Plus, the pressboard divider and metal tab construction ensure long-lasting durability.

Recently, my husband and I moved into a new home. And I thought, what better way to shuffle around my home office organization method than now. Previously, I used to organize our bills, statements and receipts in individually-marked file folders. All of those were placed in a decorative file box. This was handy because we did not have a formal office. Now we do.
It may be mid-year, but I am going to try something new – organizing all our financials in clear sheet protectors and a binder. Here’s the plan of action for this project, which may work for you too: Read the rest of this entry »
I just found an entirely new use for an old product – the plastic badge holder. Use a clip name badge holder to hold and protect your id badge.
At my gym, everyone is required to carry an id tag, that displays our name, picture and is used to scan in at the fitness center everyday. This is done to make sure only members enter the gym. The id is printed on a plastic credit card-size card. It is small, but since my workout gear doesn’t have pockets, a bit inconvenient to carry around. With the plastic holder, I can scan my tag when I arrive, then clip it to my shirt and forget about it.

You’re at home writing out the greeting card for your friend’s birthday, when you realize that you’ve nothing to put the gift card you bought in other than the cheap paper holder the store gave you, which you have already ripped. Rather than just throw it into the card’s paper envelope, use a vinyl envelope as a gift card holder.

Why would you spend days, maybe weeks, working on a project or presentation, only to hold it all together with a simple paper clip or staple. That certainly doesn’t give it the attention it deserves, does it?!? Let anyone receiving your masterpiece know how important it is by putting it in a report cover.

Poly sheet protectors here, vinyl sheet protectors there…. everywhere I turn that are sheet protectors! And that is not a bad thing!
In the year and a half since this blog was started, you may have noticed my penchant for organization. No matter what I am doing and the many projects I work on (professionally and personally), the one organizational product I always go back to is the sheet protector.
Why? Because it is such a very varied product (yes, that small alliteration was intended). Check out some examples of how the page protectors are used while…

With the summer event season coming up, I have a suggestion to make one aspect of the party planning less stressful – hello my name is badges. That’s right, cross one thing off your to-do list and let guests create their own name tags.

While in downtown Chicago this past weekend, my husband and I stopped in a coffee shop for a beverage. It was cold and windy and we needed a hot drink to warm us up. And low and behold, guess what was holding their “thank for your stopping by” sign that bid patrons farewell as they exited the building?
None other than a C-Line job ticket holder! We were surprised, elated and, of course, took a picture of the product in action! Check it out below!
 Here is the photo of the stitched vinyl holder doubling as a sign holder. |

Have you ever used one of my most favorite (yes, I know that isn’t proper grammar) products, the Quick Cover? Do you know what it is? No? Well, let me know explain.
The Quick Cover is a laminating folder or holder or pocket or whatever you would like to call it. It allows you to easily laminate a letter size piece of paper and create professional-looking documents in a snap. The front is super heavyweight clear plastic, while the back is Cleer Adheer laminating film. On one of the long sides, the plastics are already adhered together when you receive the product. All you have to do it insert the paper, pull off the liner and press the two plastic together.
The self-adhesive business card holder isn’t a new product and is typically used for holding business cards. But can you think of another use for this vinyl pocket? How about as a flash drive holder in your planner, binders, or wherever you need quick access to this device.
