I'm slowly trying to wean myself off the filing system developed by the eminent Dr. Aegus Tossit Ennywhere.
I am now trying to put things in piles. I have succeeded in clearing a very large wad of papers off my desk, recycling about half a ream of stuff that I won't need anymore, and exposing a three foot square section right next to my computer.
Clearly, this is not enough. But steps must be taken somewhere before I lose something important.

Only one of the people in there with me had a filing system at all- and he simply tossed things in piles according to what color they were.
