My microwave method of filing
I’ve let some filing pile up around here. The room where our household’s filing cabinet is happens to be situated close to the kitchen. The “to-file” stuff is on top of the filing cabinet.
For the last few days, whenever I’ve used the microwave, I’ve done a little filing while my food is heating. When the timer goes off, I stop filing. If the food needs more time, I do it again. I’ve made an astounding amount of progress, basically a minute or two at a time.
It may not be the most efficient way to file, but it sure is painless!

Thanks, Kris! You’re right, it is pretty time efficient. But I’m probably opening files more often than I would if I sorted first. It’s working for me, though!

But I think you are being incredibly efficient with your time! I do stuff like that all the time. No wasted minutes, no wasted trips from one room to the next (grab something and take it with you!).
