As we grew older, if we had to organize something, the first thing we thought of was to put it in alphabetical older.

Look at a few of the examples in our everyday world that use alphabetical filing:

• Phone numbers in our address book and phone
• The yellow pages
• The default order of files on our computer
• The order of vitamins in stores
• The order of CDs and videos in stores
• Books in a bookstore – in alphabetical order by author

These examples are all around us and it makes sense to build on what we already do and know and what works. 

Try out the system and I’m srue you’ll be successful in your goal to get organized!
