Organizing question/opinions... - The DIS Discussion Forums

Hi,
For many years of married life (+ 2 kids - now "young adults" at home) I have been organizing household, medical, school, cars etc paperwork in folders/filing cabinets -- which through the many years has expanded and gotten overbearing as far as room for it all. There's a filing cabinet in the basement, another smaller one draw one in another location, smaller more temporary, handy filing closer to the kitchen....AAAHHHH........ Anyway, I've recently been trying to change over to a notebook system of saving these papers so that they are in one location, handy and accessible and most of all organized.
Just curious now, how some of you do/organize deal with so much paperwork. I've obviously been saving things way too many years, so there's clean out involved too.
Thanks so much for your great ideas and opinions!
