Ofcourse if you manage papers just enough to fit a few box files then probably you can devise another system. There's a small plastic piece that comes with the folder, I print the label using a Brother Labeler and stick it on that plastic piece.

I am trying to stay away from hanging folders to avoid the need for a regular filing cabinet and use either a regular drawer or a box. Are the label holders part of the file or did you make them? http://yfrog.com/0x20091129n74939cpspk97r3j Thanks for your reply.

I have searched high and low for the optimum Filing Drawer and Folders to design my GTD filing system. After many trial runs with many different products, I have found using standard Mercury Filing Cabinets, available at Pan Furniture store, with Surya Filing Folders, work best. Mercury Filing cabinets are available at the Pan Furniture Store on Langford Road. Pictures of their filing cabinets and complete address is available at their website here: http://www.panfurniture.com/ Surya File Folders are generally available at most stationary outlets. I have personally seen them at Gangarams and William Penn (in Koramangala). Here's a picture of one of my Surya File Folders: http://skitch.com/arifvakil/fm8e/dsc00011 Hello Shoan,

Read the book twice and am ready to implement. Unfortunately, I can't find the right kind of folders anywhere to build a tickler file and an alphabetic reference system. What are you recommendations to build the reference and tickler system in Bangalore? Thanks in advance. Peace, Shoan. Hi,
