Most of my life is digital and I like having things in the cloud. So far, I've gotten away without having a physical filing cabinet. However I do have a "file box" from my pre-gtd days. This file box is in disarray and I want to improve the situation and make it more functional. I thought about buying an HON filing cabinet and going full David Allen with manila folders. However, there are advantages to having a file box instead of a file cabinet. I really like that it is portable, if there is a disaster and we need to evac (we've lived in places with hurricanes, floods, and fires.... currently it's only fires that are a threat ), it is really nice to have a box that holds all of our important physical docs. And given that I don't have a ton of physical things to fill a cabinet with, I'm leaning toward getting a bigger box with better folders. Most boxes have hanging folders which I would just use the trick of putting a single manila folder in each hanging folder.
I guess my question would be, do you think this is sufficient? Or as I progress with GTD am I going to outgrow my box too quick and need a cabinet? Do any other digital-natives else use a similar setup and how do you like it?
