How Do You Categorize Newspaper And Magazine Clippings?
Has your stack of unread newspapers turned from a nuisance into a firetrap? Have you vowed to never again dig through a jumble of clippings just to find that certain article, recipe, exercising tip or decorating idea? Put an end to the endless pileup of information by creating a permanent home for all those loose but intriguing and useful articles. Set aside a few hours to cull your piles. Go through the newspapers and magazines and cut out or photocopy the pages you want to keep. Don’t read them now. Recycle the rest. Sort the clippings into general categories, such as finance, inspiration, health, gardening, recipes and project ideas. File by subject groupings into hanging files or an expanding accordion file. Label your finished files with category names that help you recognize the contents. Name each file according to how you plan to use it; that will make it easier to find what you want later. For example, use the label “Travel Destination Ideas” instead of “Sunday Travel Section
