Organization

So... I crave organization.  

At work, it is insane.  I have labels for everything, am super anal about making sure things are in the right place, etc.  My outlook calendar is insane, with times tracked to call patients, etc. 

My car on the other hand, it has always been a mess.

At home, I really want to be more organized.  For the most part, I am.  Tubs/bins for clothes, tons of shoes racks, and my bathroom is the epitome of a Type A, but there is one area that drives me nuts.  And it was the one thing I was so excited for when I got back into my own place... my Recipes!

Ever since I first got married, I have been obsessed with cooking.  I seriously have thousands of recipes printed off to try.  At first, they were handwritten on recipe cards in a box, but I quickly outgrew that.  Now, they are all typed, waiting to be handwritten as we try them (there is something about a handwritten recipe) and put into page protectors in a binder.  WAITING.  Currently, I have baskets of recipes printed, waiting to be put into a filing cabinet by section, then tried.  I have the binders, but I am just so overwhelmed with the whole process.  Seriously, there are THOUSANDS of recipes.

How do you organize and store yours?  Do you organize by a specific ingredient (beef, chicken), or type (mexican, italian)??  Any help or suggestions would be awesome!!!
