Let's Get Organized. Time to clean out all my old documents, stray files, old bills and pieces of paper. First I have to empty that overflowing kitchen junk drawer that I throw everything into. I’m going to sort everything into 3 piles: Bills – Receipts – Statement/Warranties, with the rest going into the garbage.

All the bills are going in a basket by my computer until they are paid. Receipts are going in a folder for one year, then I will clean that folder out. Statements/Warranties will be filed in my cabinet for safe keeping.

Hopefully next year when it’s time to do my taxes I will have everything together because this year I had papers everywhere.
