    Mark

    First thank you for "Do It Tomorrow" is has allowed me to do a lot more with less effort and more fun. Good combination.

    Here are a couple of links that you proably have already seen but echo your thoughts on filing and setting limits, thought you and your readers might like them.

    Thanks for the references, Ian. Unfortunately a lot of the material about the Noguchi Filing System has been removed from the web since your link was originally posted. I've never been able to see quite how it would work in practice myself, but perhaps that's because I've only read summaries by people who may not understand the system properly themselves
    Best wishes,

    Thanks for the reply, Mark. The subject interested me because it included your idea of replacing files and books at the left hand end of the bookshelf.

    Anyway I'm sticking with the lever arch files, simple and it works.

    Regards

    Well, funnily enough I think you may have inspired me to give it a try!

    Keep an eye on the blog and see what I make of it (if anything!)
