The Panic No More System comes with 25 color-coded folders, 25 peel and stick file labels, 6 labeled tabs and hanging file folders, and instructions. It is quick and easy to assemble all of these supplies. It costs $23.
After throwing away all the junk mail, and separating your catalogs and magazines you're ready to use this system. Look through your piles a little bit and take note of what's actually there. Here is how Clever Container's Panic No More system works.
Throw away anything you no longer need each time you touch something.
Panic No More (pink) which includes five categories ("Call" is hiding in this photo).
Pay: put your bills in here, you could include some dividers numbered 1-31, and drop your bills in by date.
Important: Things that need attention: permission slips, checking something online, forms to make copies of etc.
Call: (or any correspondence: Doctor appointments to be made, the seamstress,etc., keep a to do list in here so you always know who you need to call.), or change this to a ToDo,
Newsletter: or if you blog and run a few facebook pages, this is a good place to store ideas. If you send out a regular mailing, like through mailchimp, this is a great place to keep an outline of the topics you want to cover.

UPC/Rebates: this is a good place to store box tops for education inside a baggie or envelope.
Gift Cards/certificates: also great for groupons and such.

Letters: If you need to take action in response file it here.

Now, this is where's I'd change it up. I'd actually just make one file for each of my kids as that seems to be the memory type stuff that lands in a pile.
