I can see (my desk) clearly now
I've spent the last half hour or so finding my desk. Throughout the quarter, I don't really have time to organize all the articles, paper drafts, and statistical results that I print. They end up strewn around in a way that makes sense at the time, but once I'm done ceases to have any useful system. Now, the desk is cleared into neat stacks, but I now have another problem. I haven't come up with a good way to keep everything organized. For example, I've printed articles for various papers and classes that I'd like to keep around. I'm not using them now, but I might in the future. So, what to do with these stacks? I can't fit a filing cabinet in here, and I don't want to take them to my campus office because I'm more likely to need them when writing at home. There must be a good way to do this, but I'm at a loss...

hey this is what I had to do too! I have the same problem with organizing all those articles I want to keep. So here's what I do so right now, although this might change if I find a better system:
I three hole punch all the article and put them in binders and then take some paper and make a a table of content. You could even if you wanted to alphabetize the articles although I don't just cause I don't have that many yet. Or you could organized the articles by project, which is more what I do.
Anyway, that's what I do!!! Hope it is helpful! :)
I get a bunch of those accordion-type file folders, usually one for each subject or project, and then organize my articles by author or subtopic in the pockets - they fit right on the bookshelf next to my textbooks, so everything's out of the way but easy to reference.
