I have a new and wondeful way to file my paperwork. It is called a foot stool.
I’m not kidding. I bought a footstool that has a removable top and I file all my important paperwork in it. When I get the mail or whatever, I keep all the good stuff in the stool and immediately throw the rest away.
Now that it is the end of the year, I will empty my stool into a storage box with 2013 on it and store it away. I find it easier for me to correlate things with time and events than with regular filing (which I never do anyway) so whenever I need something, I just remember what year it came in and I rifle through the box.
Nothing is in order, nothing is alphabetized. Couldn’t be easier.
