This is the method I use. I have found it to fail without fail.
This has nothing to do with the fact that it is National ‘Do your tax form’ Week.

That is exactly my method, Dave. I now have at least three years’ worth of paperwork, and possibly more, piled up on my desk, overflowing in two filing trays, and under the spare bed. A tip in the spirit of Quentin Crisp: if you leave it for six years it no longer has any legal status and you can ignore it.

Oh dear, horribly familiar.
As far as tax returns go, I follow the maxim that you shouldn’t fire them off until you can see the whites of Adam Hart-Davis’s eyes.

Anyone wishing to change their attitude to paper should follow the four Ds of:
Do it (urgent and important paper which should be actioned then filed)
Diary it (non-urgent and important paper which should be filed until actioned)
Delegate it (urgent and non-important paper which should be given to someone else to action)
Dump it (non-urgent non-important paper which should be put in the recycling bin once paper clips, staples and bits of plastic have been removed).Easy.

Who votes we send round a ‘mystery desk inspector’ to check if St (response 11) actually sticks to their 4 D’s?
