It looks like a paper/file organizer. Not exact but similar: http://www.amazon.ca/14124-Flexifile-recycled-expandable-organizer/dp/B0006HWLOA

This type of desktop sorter actually works really well for filters:

C-Line All-Purpose Document Sorter - Helps alphabetize papers. Set the procedure up early in class, have your kids put their own papers in it by last name, and it'll save you HOURS of alphabetizing later.

EVERY teacher needs one of these.

It's mostly newsboy hats? Could you fold them and put them in a box on a shelf, or in a drawer, so he can easily see which hats are in it and choose one? My husband only wears winter hats so I'm not experienced in other styles, but that's how I stored our winter hats. It sounds like your husband has higher quality hats so I'm not sure if nice ones can be folded the way cheap ones can. Or maybe try a wire rack, like this and set it upright, if the hats can't be folded.

I recently came across this on Amazon and it really has come in handy!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033UJ6HW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I haven't done so yet but I'm thinking able labeling each of the sections with A, B, C, etc. so it's easier to track but it really saves space and make it easy to the runners quickly. May need 2 of you're doing an MG or so but for a HG and even RG, 1 was enough.

u/gargoylelips · 3 pointsr/editors

I use one of these letter organizers. It has decluttered my desk immensely. Sits my external drives right next to a USB hub.

u/Inthismomentroll · 3 pointsr/humanresources

Sorter. It looks like a ruler but you use it to sort paperwork

https://www.amazon.com/C-Line-All-Purpose-Document-Sorter-30526/dp/B0006HWA2I

I wish I knew about this sooner!

u/graymulligan · 3 pointsr/Gunpla

The only problem I see is that each runner is leaning on another, otherwise it'll fall over. I went with a couple of cheapie file holders from amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Sparco-Sorter-Compartments-Black-SPR11876/dp/B0033UJ6HW/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1500991323&sr=8-17&keywords=vertical+file

they routinely drop down under 4 bucks, so for under $10, I have a solution that's tall enough to have things not falling over.

u/Eric-R · 2 pointsr/LetsChat

I had no chance to write until now, when I'm getting my very late chance at my scheduled breath because I spent a very significant portion of my morning in our main departmental office giving one of these (and some hanging folders) a serious workout :)

I'm autistic. Here's the key. Work on one area at a time.

I have a monthly calendar on the wall to remind me of things and I use it.

This thing is a life saver. I have a lot of my files separated in that thing. It is very helpful.

I have a couple of these to keep my important files in. If I need to keep an important paper, I put it in a file in there.

Don't use a file cabinet. Out of sight, out of mind. Totally bad. Get a file cart. This is the one I have and its great.

I have these in my desk drawers

I have this thing on my desk to organize supplies on my desk

I have this thing on my desk to organize files



​

Basically I've spent a shit ton of money to keep me organized. I don't put a lot of things in cabinets because out of site, out of mind. I forget where they are if I can't see them. If they are in a drawer, I keep it organized. I straighten off my desk every other day so I don't get buried. I live by post it notes. They are my life. They are my everything. If I need to remember something, it goes on a sticky note and the sticky note goes on my computer.



As for stress and anxiety. Practice self-care. Get into therapy. You may want to consider meds. Know your limits. Yeah its good to be social but you will need your lunch to recharge. That becomes really important. Yeah you can try to go with staff two times a week but you need the recharge time.



You also need a letter from your doctor and submit it to personnel and talk to your principal. I have a good relationship with my principal right now and haven't talked to the district yet. I just told my principal that it effects my communication with others. Sometimes I have a hard time communicating what I really want to say or people may misinterpret what I say because of tone or I don't say it right. I have a hard time with eye contact. I also have slow processing so it takes a second and people take that as ignoring. I don't need any accommodations, I just need her to understand my communication difficulties and my social awkwardness. Fortunately for me, I am a SPED teacher who teaches the self-contained autism class and she thinks that will be a good connection with parents. I have asked for a 10 minute break off campus break (to smoke, she know I do) after a bad IEP and she gives it to me. But its rare that I do. If it starts to become a problem, I'll inform my union and then inform the district.



If you come up with systems and learn to be more organized, it will help with the stress. If you learn self-care it will help.

u/Saitama-The-Almighty · 2 pointsr/DCcomics

I'm in the exact same situation. Try these Acrimet Magazine File Holder (Pack with Two) (Smoke) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00INAD4ZW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_AcZFxbH0XFS28

I plan on getting some soon, that way I can display them after bag and boarding them and i can just grab them instead of putting them in a short box. They look nice on a shelf. Heres different kinds made of different materials and colors on Amazon so look around for magazine holders.

There are plenty of others, too, for similar price points

u/keechie · 2 pointsr/vinyl

I picked up the Expedit about 2 weeks ago - I'm going to try to place some other things in some of the cubes so my vinyl is tighter together until I add to my collection.

I was also encouraged to show the way I display what is currently spinning and what I have lined up next in my queue.

I "permanently borrowed" this one from my work but they can be found cheap at Amazon.

This would be super helpful in my classroom!

This is a pic of myself with my puppy, Leo :) that was easy :)

Edit: thanks for the contest and happy gifting!

I have an alphabetizer. My students turn in there papers to it and they are all in order and then I staple them together. It’s easier to enter into the grade book and I don’t ‘loose’ papers.

I have something like this http://www.amazon.com/Rolodex-22347-three-tier-organizer-black/dp/B00006IALE with hanging folders and manila folders in them.

Each folder has a name of importance for me:

Rent: keeps copies of my former leases (I only hold onto prior lease) and my rent bill that I get monthly

Taxes : Has copies of tax returns, and old w2's etc

Medical Bills/EOBs: Has just that, but only because I had major surgery a few years back and had to pay off over 15 different doctors/entities

Instructions: Buy something new I put in in there. This way you always have the make and model if you need something.

Retirement: Info on my different accounts, I touch these so infrequently, I have no clue where they are, great for when I move as well.

[My company name]: Proof of raises and stuff like that

Student Loans: This had my different statements because I had 5, now I have one and it will be paid off in about 2 or 3 payments!

Utilities: I don;t keep this for current utilities, I keep it for final utility bills. Specifically once I move or end a service, eg my Comcast bill. Because I dont want them to say I didnt pay them or not have an acct number.

Car/Renters Insurance: Has my title, emissions, insurance packets with file number etc.

My MOST important folder, is my TO BE FILED folder, sometimes it gets quite large and I have to just sit down, separate and shred. I literally create one big pile of files and look at each one and place them in a pile together, then file them away.

  • So many pencils. Pencils for days.
  • A high-quality electric pencil sharpener? I've never been in an elementary school classroom that didn't have those shitty metal hand-cranked pencil-eaters that pass for pencil sharpeners. You're going to need a good sharpener instead.
  • Loose leaf. (Maybe. I was an intervention specialist at a school that provided lined paper, but then when I got my job at the high school, they didn't provide it. When I'm at thrift stores or garage sales and spot unopened packages of lined paper, I grab those faster than anything.)
  • Letters for bulletin boards. You might have a die-cut machine in your school, but why gamble?
  • Maybe a desk drawer organizer? I'll be honest: mine doesn't actually help all that much, but I'm kind of a human mess anyway so that could be the problem.
  • Something to organize papers, like this or this or this. (Or some combination of all of them.)
  • 3M Command Hooks.
  • Label-making materials, depending on your vision for your classroom's decor.
  • Sharpies.
  • Masking tape.
  • A few giant pads of paper for making anchor charts and signs and just who knows what else. I think 3M probably makes some.

    Like I said, when I worked in an elementary school, we had this lovely room in the office that was full of school supplies and other things that teachers had hauled out of their classrooms because they didn't want anymore. There were binders, pencil holders, huge collections of pens and markers and colored pencils, compasses, folders, notepads, notebooks, scissors, index cards, and just...everything. It was like a dream. Make sure to ask at your new school whether they have anything like that.
u/Apophthegmata · 1 pointr/Teachers

I teach 4th grade. Every one of my students receives a number at the start of the year based upon the alphabetical order of their last names. I will use this number to assign them cubbies, job rotations, line order if necessary, and on popsicle sticks for random assignment of demonstrations/recitations/presentations etc.


I have subject specific turn-in bins. Students will either put finished work (HW) there themselves or I might collect the entire class's work myself (CW, tests) and put it in the box until the end of the day.

I keep two vertical accordion folders. (the ones with real bottoms that open as a rectangle, not a V.) One is for ungraded work and each pocket is a different assignment. At the end of each day I clear out the boxes. This helps me catch late work. If a student turns something in late I stamp it (with the pocket watch bunny from Alice in Wonderland) late and it goes right into its pocket with the rest. I keep the key at the front of the pocket, or sometimes just keep all of my recent keys at the very front before the first pocket. I don't buy a huge folder because if I'm running out of room, that means I better get on with it and quit putting that work aside.

Then during a prep period or at home, I will take it out and grade it. Once it's been marked it goes into the second accordion folder.

When I'm ready to enter the grades into the gradebook, they leave the second accordian folder, I cycle through and put numbers into the computer and file them away using [this desktop paper organizer. ](Smead Desk File/Sorter, Daily... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00658PGKU?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share). Since each student has a number, I can just feed each paper into its appropriate slot in the folder. It doesn't take me long at all to memorize which student is which number. It's a mobile mailbox system.

It is so satisfying to see that blue folder swell by Sunday afternoon. It means I won't have to play catch-up for at least another week. If it's fat by Friday I get a worry-free weekend.

I can't stress how much this single folder has improved my ability to turn work around in a timely manner. I have a very small classroom without any room for a mailbox system so I used to be walking back and forth while students were at specials etc distributing graded work to their desks. I don't like having students pass others' work out to allow them that privacy.

Now I can "pass back" work while sitting in front of my tv at home filing away graded work into the folder and when I get to school I take exactly one trip around my classroom and deliver graded work to each desk exactly once.

So that parents can keep a better eye on whether their children are appropriately bringing work home (instead of "losing it" in the recycling bin when I'm not looking) I try to pass back 1 week of graded materials every Monday. This is important because parents don't have access to individual assignment grades online.


This system means what goes with me in my backpack home everyday are the exact same items: the three folders, my hobonichi, my laptop, my stamps. I am very absentminded (and don't have access to our building after hours or on weekends because we share the facilities) so if I didn't make things this organized it would be a disaster. I will forget and lose things left and right.

(I also went and bought my own binder clips. Small ones, big ones. I find my work never stayed securely organized when I used paper clips.)

u/vcWfDrlqrAArebp7 · 1 pointr/DunderMifflin

are you talking about this thing or something lower on the desk? https://www.amazon.com/Sparco-SPR11875-Incline-Sorter-Compartment/dp/B0033UNEK2

u/FreeThinkingThought · 1 pointr/ADHD

The big thing that helps me is to keep the work area and work supplies essentially separate. My desk is a flat surface with one pencil, one pen, one permanent marker, and one highlighter. The rest are stashed elsewhere in a drawer.

Same thing with notebooks/folders. I make sure to keep them in a filing cabinet (just a standard one, nothing fancy), and only bring out what is relevant and take it to my desk. When everything was pretty much an all-in-one desk/filing system, it became too easy to get overwhelmed and before I knew it, I'd be facing piles of shit I didn't need at that time.

This also helped me to organize. It will be a matter of trial/error. Try writing down exactly what kind of functions you want and check out some blogs about home office organization.

u/enteringxghost · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

Hey! I might have a solution for your palettes: File and letter organizers like this and this. I use one similar to the first one for my large palettes (Mega Pro 1 and 2, Vice 4, A Few of My Favorite Things, etcetera) and I'm currently on the hunt for a CLEAR letter organizer to put my baby palettes in (Sugar Pop, Bon Bons, Naked 3, etcetera). They work great and are cheap if you hunt around a bit at Target and the like! :)

u/reiichiroh · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

Thanks for the ideas guys. I'm going to try shoeboxes and magazine holders along with this to keep out keyboards I want to use occasionally: https://www.amazon.ca/Sparco-Incline-Sorter-Compartments-SPR11876/dp/B0033UJ6HW/

u/jnfranne · 1 pointr/VetTech

I always used something like this: Alphabet file sorter - Amazon

I really helps organize before filing and then everything is in order before you go to your file. You can sort easily and the alphabet is right in front of you.

How big are they? They look like the little things that clip onto the bottom of a file sorter.
