Organizing Project Thoughts

Having a separate file folder devoted to each project makes a lot of sense when you're accumulating paper based materials. Non actionable items fall into three large categories, reference materials, reminders of things that need no action now, but might at a later date, and things that you don't need at all, trash. Muh of what comes across your desk and into your life in general is reference material. There's no action required, but it's information that you want to keep for a variety of reasons. Your only decision then is how big a library you want.
