Container Store Hanging Files Storage Option

We had a den/office in our Midwest home. There were two very large file drawers that were packed with stuff. Everything was very organized and easy to find. When we moved to DC fifteen years ago we had 500 square feet to live in. Obviously we didn’t have an office. Most of the items in all the files were destroyed before we moved. We ended up getting a few accordion files to try and maintain some order. But over the years everything ended up in drawers and finding things was a pain. Now that we moved to northern Virginia, we sorted through all the files and paperwork and dumped more of it. We now live in 1000 square feet but don’t have any dedicated filing space. Documents are scattered around or piled up next to where I sit for easy access. So we decided it was time to get organized again. We went to the container store to find a hanging file option. I didn’t want a space occupying file cabinet, so we ended up with a box that hopefully will become the go to for everything and will be stored in the closet. We found some hanging files to put in it but one of the packages didn’t come with the tabs - quite annoying. Now I just need to sort through everything and purge - again. I’m just not motivated to do it right now. So the box is sitting in the corner of the dining room. Hopefully we can start dumping things soon. I know I will feel much better about getting somewhat in control again.
