We live in an age where there is much less paper going around, thank you technology!
But theres still an abundance of papers in our lives.
From mail, bills, shopping lists, work documents, receipts, tickets, even school work!
One day, we might not be looking for how to organize paperwork ideas.
But for now we need a system to organize all our important documents.
It will also be simple enough for you to use on a daily basis.
I will also go through how to choose your home file system categories!
If youre ready, lets organize all the paperwork!
Medical can be further broken down into dental, and medical, etc…).
This might go against the advice youve probably heard.
Because its easy and fast
I ended up keeping 4 categories: Personal, Work, Family and Shopping.
I can usually file most things under each of those 4 categories, without getting overwhelmed.
We bought these Skydue paperexpanding file foldersystem from amazon.
Totally love them since they are cheap!
There was an option for the multipack so we ended up buying that so each of us has one.
A TIP:The smaller the file system you have, the less clutter you could keep.
It of forces you to purge more often so your file isnt bursting at the seams.
After choosing your file folder system, youll need to label each tab with the categories you chose above.
I usedsticker labels,which I hand wrote on.
I used a marker to color code the border around the label (for even easier filing).
You might also find it’s crucial that you remove or add categories as your life changes.
OR maybe your retiring and no longer need a work category.
Whatever the case your categories might change as time goes on.
And there you have it!
I hope it helps you conquer all your papers for good!
