Tickler File: A tickler file system acts as a reminder, something that
tickles your memory. Originally ticklers were special feathers that
were used to tickle churchgoers who nodded off during the sermon. Today
tickler file systems are used so that we can purposely forget information
until it is needed.
A calendar is the simplest tickler file system. It provides a place to
write down appointments and important events. However, a hanging file
folder system provides a storage place for time-related papers—papers to
be reviewed at a later date, bills to be paid, letters to be answered,
decisions to make, tickets purchased in advance, cards to be sent,
follow-up information and a variety of other items that you will need on a
specific day.
Tickler files are active—to be used daily on a constantly rotating
basis. If used effectively, they will manage mail, information, future
appointments and time-related paperwork. If you cannot do everything in
today’s file, you can transfer the leftover tasks to another day,
another week or another month. However, no matter which system you choose
for managing information, none will work unless you refer to it regularly.
Calendars, to-do lists and tickler files can be combined and coordinated
for effective time management.

This tickler file consists of Pendaflex hanging file folders in two
different colors—30 of one color that are labeled for the days of the
month (1-30) and 12 of the other color labeled with each month’s name
(January-December). This tickler file can be stored in your desk drawer or
other file cabinet that is easily accessible. It is a rotating system.
Paperwork is distributed in its appropriate day or month. As each day
passes that hanging folder becomes the corresponding day of the next
month. As each month passes that folder becomes the same month of the next
year.
