Filing cabinets are the kings of clutter for most home offices - they are stuffed with whatever we can't find a place for or whatever piece of paper we don't need to deal with anymore but don't want to throw away. Start small - organise your filing cabinet by choosing one drawer and weeding through it, removing anything that's no longer current or necessary.  Or for maximum organisation what about our supersized three drawer Mayan filing cabinet?
