Chase "Running a house is a lot like running a business,"
says Stephanie Denton, a professional organizer based in Cincinnati, Ohio, who
specializes in both residential and commercial paperwork and record keeping. To
get a successful grip on organizing documents, bills, and other materials,
Denton suggests the following tips. Create a space in which you
can always do your paperwork. This is perhaps the most important element of a
successful system. If you can’t devote an entire desk to the task, at least
invest in a rolling file cart to store active paperwork and a two-drawer file
cabinet for family records. Store the rolling file cart wherever it is most
convenient and comfortable to do your work, whether that is the kitchen, office,
or family room. When in doubt, throw it out. The first step to
implementing a workable filing system is to eliminate paper you don’t use, don’t
need, or that you could easily access again elsewhere. Throw out duplicate
statements, old catalogs, and all of the coupons, mailings, or offerings you’ll
never have an opportunity to use or even read. Set aside two
days a month to pay bills. If a monthly due date doesn’t fit into your cycle,
call up the creditor and suggest a more convenient date. Keep two manila folders
at the front of your system for current bills—one to correspond with each
bill-paying day—and file all incoming bills. Keep a list in the front of each
folder of what needs to be paid in case the invoice never arrives or gets
misplaced. Think of your filing system not as a rigid tool, but
as a living, breathing system that can accommodate your changing needs. A good
filing system is both mentally and physically flexible. Everyone’s needs are
different, says Denton, but when devising a filling system, ask yourself: "Where
would I look for this" Create main headings for your filing system, such as
Investments, Taxes, Children, and so forth, and file individual folders under
the main headings. Never overstuff your files.
