I only have 1 2 drawer filing cabinet to work with.
In the top I have hanging folders for:
1) Stationary & post cards.
2) Sales reports - I have the "snapshot" sheet for the month on the top, and all of the shows are behind it. I have 1 folder for each month.
3) This month host/guest special flyers
4) Next month host/guest special flyers
5) 2 months out host/guest special flyers
6) Host packet information - any brochures, or flyers I might put in a host packet go here
7) Recipes
8) Cluster newsletters/flyers
9) Banking/commission statements
10) Miscellanous paperwork.
11) Labels. Blank and pre-printed ones, that I can grab in a hurry.
12) Completed Show evaluation forms stapled by show/event.
In the bottom drawer, I have guest folders made up along with anything I might bring with me to the show - pens, show evaluation forms, etc.
I notice when I stray from the "system", my office is out of control.

Hi there! I'm also a Pampered Chef consultant and I've found that setting up a filing system for all of my paperwork has been a huge time saver. Here are a few tips that have worked for me:1. Categorize your files: I like to divide my files into categories such as orders, hostess information, team member documents, and general business expenses. This helps me easily find what I need without having to sift through a bunch of random papers.2. Use color coding: I use different colored folders for each category to make it even easier to find what I need. For example, all of my hostess information is in a green folder, while my team member documents are in a blue folder.3. Keep important documents within reach: I keep my most frequently used documents, such as order forms and customer information, in a separate folder that I can easily access without having to open a filing cabinet.4. Utilize digital storage: While physical filing cabinets are great for organizing paperwork, I also like to keep digital copies of important documents on my computer or in the cloud. This way, I always have a backup in case something happens to the physical copies.5. Purge regularly: It's important to regularly go through your files and get rid of anything that is no longer relevant or needed. This will prevent your filing system from becoming cluttered and overwhelming.I hope these tips help you get started with setting up your Pampered Chef home office! Good luck!
