Quick-Reference Binders
Lots of us keep important reference information and papers in many different places – by the phone, on the fridge or bulletin board, in the file cabinet, in a desk or kitchen drawer – it’s hard to keep track of them all!
Maybe you’d benefit by setting up some reference binders. What you need for each one is a 3-ring binder with tabbed and labeled dividers, plus paper (of course) and punched sheets with pockets for storing printed information like leaflets and cards. Ideas for sections include:
