My system is very similar to Mary's. I now record a lot more on my tree, as I find Family Historian very useful for this.
I have a family history folder on my computer, which is divided into sub-folders featuring each surname. Each of these surname folders is in turn divided into married couples. I try to write a chronological account of each, but I now find I can increasingly use my computer to produce something similar. However, as I have been able to print or save baptismal, marriage and burial records, I often incorporate the image into my Word document.
I still have many lever arch files, but I have thrown away a lot of the stuff I initially printed off. I find my ever-increasing collection of wills fills them up very nicely.
