What's the deal with active files? Aren't files just files? Not a chance! Active files are those great reminder files that always stay within reach and are accessed on a daily/weekly basis...
Good Looking Active Files
Some common categories for active files are: Bills To Pay, To Read, To File, Response Needed, etc. We like to use this clear wall pocket from Stak-A-File. What's best is that it affixes to the wall to save prime real estate on your desktop. Because the files are out and about in a clear wall pocket, there's an opportunity for creativity. You can get started with your own flair using file folders like these from Cavallini & Company.
For more cool file folders, check these out: Charcoal Toile File Folders, Andy Warhol Inspired Happy Butterfly Day File Folders, and Scandinavian Modern File Folders

Nice article, but there is another way to buy file folders, pressboard folders and expanding filing pockets and that is direct from the manufacture. At AmericanFolder.Com we are now selling our manufactured filing supplies direct thus cutting out the big box retailers markup. So yes I agree that buying some office supplies from a large chain store is smart, but the real savings is when you find a manufacture that is selling direct. I invite you to go too our companies web site and see for yourself.
