I keep passports, degree certificates, deeds, health insurance docs.. the things I would grab if I was running out the door, in a single box file.
Everything else is basically unsorted, maybe vaguely sorted by date of putting on top of the pile, by placing things together after searching for them once, or by 'I think I know where I saw it'.
I have tried putting everything in themed folders, it's a waste of time. The time spent searching for something is much less than the time spent organizing everything in advance. The modal piece of paper will be thrown away after a few years without ever having been needed.
