Why Bother?
More on the Noguchi Filing System
In the book, Myth of the Paperless Office, it comes to light that files have three life stages, which the authors term “hot, warm, and cold.” This is a pretty useful concept, and it’s worth exploring a bit.
Noguchi
I just watched Johnny Goldstein’s movie about implementing the Noguchi Filing System, something I’ve planned to implement myself in the next week or so.
The movie’s pretty straightforward, and Johnny’s mostly got it right (I think… most of the information about the NFS is in Japanese, after all), but I do have a couple of comments [...]

Okay, not so much.
I’ve had a grueling few months, and while my next actions and project board were instrumental in pulling me through to meet my deadlines, the end result is that I have an enormous review of my “stuff” to get through.
