"A book I read has prompted me to try a rather unconventional filing system, the system proposed and used by Noguchi Yukio, an economist and writer of bestselling books about such things. Implementation of the system requires the user to discard many conventional notions about how to store paper documents."Source: The Noguchi Filing System
Noguchi's material is all in Japanese, which limits access. One [ed. 'you'? more personal, but somehow more directive?] can attempt a simply version of one aspect of the system using windows search function and not putting any criteria in the search field. Sort the files from oldest to newest. Review and prune from oldest to newest. Provides a sort-of David Allen-like modest zen sense of order/accomplishment.
