The Noguchi Filing System
posted Sunday, 16 October 2005
Between genealogy, chess, work, computers and life I am being inundated with paper. My filing system is failing under the weight of it all so I'm trying The Noguchi Filing System.
This Japanese filing system called the Noguchi Filing System is a fascinating alternative to subject-based filing (as the author of this page says, it's often hard to know a priori how to categorize a document). By refiling documents in a way that groups frequently accessed materials at the front of the file-shelf, it automatically optimizes itself for putting most urgent documents closest to hand.
It's easier to understand if you go to the link HERE and check it out yourself.
I'll let you know in a few months how it works out.
