Incentive to File: The Smile at the Bottom of the Stack

Filing used to be one of my least favorite tasks.  Three things changed that.

1. I got my filing system in order so that it's easy to file things.
2. I've gotten in the habit of filing as I go, rather than let the "To File" pile get overwhelmingly big.
3. When the "To File" tray does get full, I've given myself a little something at the bottom to look forward to: A smiley face note. It may seem silly, but it works.  I get some positive feedback for emptying the tray -- and for keeping it empty!
