Every home or office has loads of paperwork to deal with (despite the
move to email) and every so often, you have to make space for current paper.
That is why we need to archive and simply throwing it into a box isn't how it's
done.
If you want to avoid wasting time looking for documents, the key to
archiving is labeling the box you put it in. A blanket description is required
BUT add exact descriptions as well, e.g. HR
Files 2010 and thereafter, Joe
Soap, Jane Doe, Cliff Richard etc. This is so that, should you have 5 HR Files 2010, you know which one to
go to if you're looking for Joe Soap.
