Are you the type of person who loves to save magazine articles?

Do you save the whole magazine or do you tear out the pages?

Do you have piles and piles of torn out articles?

Do you ever reference these pages?

These are the types of questions I get asked at almost every speaking engagement I do.

Check out this short video (it’s older but still relevant) on How To Save Magazine Articles

Are you still thinking about saving articles or is it time to let Google store all that information for you?

You will want a system if you simply can’t let go….just yet.

Set up files:

• Health
• Recipes
• Decorating Ideas
• Personal Growth
• Travel
• Whatever the topics are you want to save.

While reading a magazine simple tear the pages out that you would like to save and file right away. That is the key. You must do it right away or else you will end up with piles and piles of torn out articles. They will collect dust and you will NEVER look at them again.

I suggest putting a date on the files. If you have not read or reference the information in that file by a certain date (say 6 months) then toss it.

Have you found that the same information gets recycled year after year? It might have a slightly different twist to it but generally it is the same ideas and tips. This is another reason why I do not save articles, and why I have stopped buying magazines

What do you think will work best for you?
