Inspirational Office Moment: channel your inner librarian

Business cards seem to reproduce on my desk faster than rabbits in springtime. If you are like me, clutter = confusion. On a recent inspirational excursion through Flickr.com, I came across a fresh yet vintage-y idea for categorizing and organizing all of my contacts: antique library card catalog files. The drawers are (usually) the perfect size for stashing business cards and postcards. Clarity has never looked so good!

[Ed. note: You can see more colorful shots of retired library card catalog filing units in situ on Bitsandbobbins' Flickr page--our initial inspiration. These units are all over eBay and range in size and price from two-drawer units for $25 to large, standing pieces for close to two grand. Get one now before all the prices go through the roof.]
