5. By Action
Home filing system by action is one of the easiest home filing system ideas and it perfectly works for someone who works from home and has active projects at hand. Each project has a different time frame and you must determine which ones are the fastest moving. There are those that are temporary, permanent, and a tickler. As for the tickler, the action file is attributed to an event, or it needs you to be reminded of the days remaining for you to finish the project. With this, you know which ones you have to prioritize in order to comply with the deadline.
