How do I use storage cabinets for a paper document management system?

An effective paper document management system using storage cabinets starts with categorization: active files (referenced weekly) go in easily accessible cabinet drawers or open shelves at desk height; semi-active files (referenced monthly) go in closed-door cabinets; archival files (rarely referenced) go in higher cabinets or dedicated file rooms. Label each shelf or drawer with category, date range, and retention schedule. Color-coded file folders and spine labels speed retrieval. When combining storage cabinets with lateral file cabinets, store the lateral files closest to the desk for active files and storage cabinets behind for reference materials and supplies.
