Organization

I’ve always been pretty lax… very lax in organizing my mail and important papers, but I quickly attach sentiment and emotion to things I keep. It also may be a false sense of importance. It could even be that I get it from my mom as she has recently given me quite a few old things such as my first medicare card and every report card I ever had.

So, I decided, since I’m pretty much starting fresh, I would organize better. I found this article on creating a filing system, cleared off the coffee table and went through many papers and put them into piles. Jaime went ahead and created some master level folders of the top level categories that are in the article.

• Banking
• Car Titles
• Guarantees/Warranties
• Investment
• Medical/Dental
• Life Insurance
• Tax

Pretty sweet. I think we actually do have more categories than that. We have a super stash that needs to go into a safe. I’m wondering if we should get a bolt down, waterproof/fireproof safe or just get a safety deposit box.

Honestly, I don’t know why I never decided to look up ‘how to organize’ before. It really helps.
