“I’m really visual. If I can’t see something, I’ll forget all about it and it won’t get done.”

At its worst, people who are strongly visual end up piling things on their desks because they need to be able to see it all. This creates a cramped, cluttered feeling they dislike. Unfortunately, if life gets busy or there isn’t an effective tracking system, things can get out of control and as lost on the desk as a file cabinet.

Visual people hate file cabinets.

However, vision is the strongest of the 5 senses and it can be used to advantage when organizing. I’d love to hear about the ways you accommodate your visual sense to help you stay on track.

What kinds of files or other separators do you use?
How do you remind yourself to do things?
What tips do you have for other struggling visual organizers?

Chime in with an idea and you could win a $10 gift certificate to Powell’s World of Books (winner chosen at random). If you have pictures of your organizing tips, even better. All of us visual people will be very, very happy.
