File Faster, Pull Icons Off of Your Bills
I was reorganizing my file cabinet recently (after neglecting the project for many years and building up a severe organizational deficit.) I was getting all fired up and ready for making a word template for the folder tabs I would need, when laziness (and therefore invention) struck.
Why not just cut the cool colorful letter head off of one of the bills in each folder and slap that on there? I don't really care to define that 'comcast = cable bill' I know that.. I just want to come up with a tab that tells me what's in there.
Now I've got recognizable icons that generally match the thing I'm holding in my hand when I go to file the crap for my records. Yay!
I love it. That is really a

helpful tip
I'm in the process of re doing my own files as well as those of my mothers. What a challenge. I'm motivated by little things like your icon labels........and hoping it gives me the push to finish this huge project.
Thanks for sharing!

So..so sexy.

Time Saver on Labels
Love the idea. For a while now, I have been using Avery 8167 return address labels to print out my folder labels for a cleaner look.
I love your icon idea. Combining the two ideas, I just tried "cutting" an icon from a company websites, AT&T, and "pasted" it into a Word 2007 labels sheet (formatted for Avery 8167). It worked great and rescaled the icon appropriately. I may be redoing my labels this weekend.
Thanks!
I love this idea. It's funny
I love this idea. It's funny how you see something likle this and wonder why you didn't think of it yourself. It's so simple and useful. Thanks for sharing it.

That's freakin' brilliant.
That's freakin' brilliant. Simple, effective, cheap...I love it. The only problem, of course, is that if WE did that, Bex wouldn't get to use her label maker. Can't have that.
well, there are plenty of
well, there are plenty of other tabs that are more like 'topics' that she could label make on.. (for instance in that pic, my taxes folders.. etc.)
