Hi

I am struggling to store these effectively as they fall over. I have a filing cabinet as part of my desk which I want to use for these, makes sense as it is in easy reach, but it has no back or follow block.

Does anyone have advice on where to find these? Any advice on tricks or tips to make this easier greatly appreciated. If it makes a difference I am UK based.

Thanks

If you don't *love*your filing cabinets, consider replacing them

One of the things I noticed about any organizational system is that if you don't love it or at the very least like it, you won't use it. If there's a factor about your filing cabinets that makes them unappealing or inconvenient in the slightest way, you might start to feel resistance to using them. Then you might not want to touch your inbox because you're afraid you might have to put something in the file cabinet so you'll stop collecting and processing entirely and fall of the GTD wagon.

I worked out of portable file boxes for a short time when I started my trial run of GTD. A month later I was ordering quality file cabinets with slider blocks. They really do make the difference; it a joy to use them.
