Eliminating Client Folder Clutter

Even if you divide your "Client" folders into A-M and N-Z, they are likely to get rapidly filled.

The solution I have adapted is to add two additional subfolders to the A-M and N-Z folders. I title one subfolder: "Inactive." I title the other: "Proposals."

Whenever I complete a project for a client, I remove their entire folder from the A-M or N-Z folder and place it in the "Inactive" folder. When another project comes along, I remove it from the Inactive folder.

By eliminating inactive clients, I can quickly go directly to my current work for each client. And, likewise, I can easily locate outstanding proposals to new clients.
