Fancy filing systems do not work for ADDers, even the act of filing can be overwhelming! Implement a hanging file system - no need for punching ! Just file in the relevant hanging file !
Stick to the KISS principle ! (Keep it simple stupid)!
For Students : only have files for each subject!
For @home parents, I recommend a file for each of the following:
Ideally on a six monthly basis go through each file - file NB docs like School Reports in a Leverarch File so you can handover to your child when they leave home. Trash what is no longer relevant!
Easy Peasy!

For @home parents, I recommend a file for each of the following:
- Budget / Finance / Bills
- one file per child NB info like copy of birth certificate, school reports, etc.
- one file per adult - same as for child
- House info : maintenance / insurance info / Gardening service / etc
- Medical info
- Subscriptions / Club Fees - Annual
- NB Purchases (with guarantees or warrantees)
- File for Pets
- Follow-up : any thing that is required for follow-up within the next week / month - no longer. If sorted - file in one of the files above.
