What order should a tickler file be kept?

A tickler file is typically organized by date, with each folder representing a specific day or month. You can arrange it into 43 sections: 12 for each month and 31 for the days of the month. This allows you to easily access reminders and tasks based on their due dates. Some people may also choose to categorize items by project or priority, but the date-based system is the most common and effective method.
