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: 2
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. 3
When in doubt, throw it out. The first step for 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. 4 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.
5 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 filing 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. Stephanie Denton is expert ______.
A they are useless
B in paper chase
C that it is easily reached
D that different people have different requirements
E they are not comfortable
F in investing in coupons
