Envelopes
Don't let papers get disorganized just because you ran out of file folders. Cut the short ends off a light cardboard mailing envelope. Turn it inside out so you have a blank cardboard on the outside. Cut a 3/4-inch (2-centimeter) wide strip lengthwise off the top of one side. The other edge becomes the place where you label your file.

Duct Tape
Old pocket folders may lose their resiliency but are otherwise useful. Cover your old folder with duct tape; reinforce between sections and it's as good as new.
