Have you started to think about getting organized for the Fall season? Labor Day is vastly approaching and it unofficially marks the end of summer! This means that you may need to trade those sandals for boots, and skirts and shorts for long pants. The end of summer also means that a storage swap needs to take place.
Everything you unpacked for summer needs to go back, and all your fall and winter items gradually need to come out. This process may seem overwhelming at first, but Paper Tiger Filing System Software for Document Management makes this very simple. This applies to everything you have packed or stored away because anything that you can put a number onto, you can Paper Tiger! By following these simple steps, you can easily organize all your summer items for next year.
1. Swap and Sort Items: You’ve probably stowed away all your winter clothes and paraphernalia, but there are a few things you must take into consideration. Fall has yet to come and you may not need your heaviest coat just yet. Sort out your summer clothes and items and figure out what you need to remove from storage for the near future.
2. Index with Paper Tiger: Once you’ve sorted the items, and decided what you want to put away and take out, you can index them into Paper Tiger. You need to have some sort of storage containers or boxes to organize the items. You then simply catalog the items into Paper Tiger’s database to coincide with which box or container you have the items in, and label the container to match Paper Tiger’s Item Number. For example, in your Paper Tiger database you would input summer clothes or Box one and the keywords would be the contents of the box. Next Memorial Day, you will know exactly where all your summer items are by using Paper Tiger’s search box, and you’ll know exactly which box your favorite shorts are in.
3. Store Items: You’ve sorted the items and input them into Paper Tiger’s database, so the last step is to physically store the items. The best places for storage are the garage, attic and closet; however you can store your items wherever you choose. Whatever place you choose, next year when summer comes back around you will know exactly where to find your clothes. The same thing applies when you need to retrieve your winter and fall clothes.
These three steps will help you once the leaves start falling from the trees and the air starts getting cooler. Not only will all your summer clothes be organized, but you will also be able to easily retrieve your winter clothes that you stowed away at the beginning of the summer. Paper Tiger Filing System Software is easy to use and will help you in getting organized through this change of seasons.
