Do you File or Pile?

Leah Maclean asks whether you are a piler or a filer. While I deal mostly with electronic organization, the question is worth asking. It's all about how organized you are. She says,

"I must admit that when it comes to filing I have fit more into the category of piler rather than filer.  With both paper and electronic document I have been able to use the piling method and, in the past, still be able to say "I know just where it is".  In more recent times that ability to "just put my hand on what I'm looking for" has taken a turn for the worst."

I find the same to be true. I'm accumulating information at a rapid pace, and it often exceeds the capacity of my organizational system.  See her suggestions for more information on how you can overcome your own organization challenges.
