Book Reviews of File...Don't Pile: A proven filing system for personal and professional use

Book Review: File...Don't Smile!
Summary: 1 Stars

Do you really love filing? Do you cherish every written word that makes it's way into your home? Do you have time to catalog and cross reference each paper? Yes? Then this book is for you!

Written in the 1980's, this book is very outdated. I am a professional organizer and I would never recommend this type of filing system to any of my clients. The people I work with need a quick, one-step way to keep track of their files. The File...Don't Pile system is definitely not it.
