Any suggestions for the out of sight, out of mind dilemma?
At work I make a notation on my calendar that something needs to be done (it could be 1 week or 8 weeks or more into the future). I put the paper in the file until I need it.
I keep only those papers that I need this week in a neat pile. They are sorted into categories - meetings to set; bills to pay; etc.
There are sorters that are available either alphabetical or date to help you keep things straight too.
One of my favorite cartoons was a Plugger cartoon where the filing system was in huge piles and there were papers sticking out. The Plugger knows exactly where the right paper is at the right moment. I could really relate to that.
