DKWTFIF

This strange label is one of the most useful labels for files that I've ever come across.

It stands for "Don't Know Where To File It File"

It's a real cop-out and if you have such a file it will be small, because you will go to it frequently and deal with the contents properly – won't you?

I have such a file, and it's a pile on the side table in my office. The bad news is it's messy and tall. The good news is that I hardly ever take anything out of the pile, except on the (approximately) monthly cull. That's when I have a bored moment and sit down with some loud music on and go through the pile. Most of it goes straight in the recycling box, and the rest I deal with. In some mysterious way, the paper that's been sitting unloved for a month finds a home when I go through the pile.

So, I think a DKWTFIF is a good thing for me, provided I go through it often enough to prevent it falling down and smothering me.
