When it comes to
organizing a home, there’s nothing like paper work to cause some pretty serious
clutter mayhem. Paper work is one of the
hardest things for most of us to organize. It’s hard to keep up with, it’s hard
to get rid of, and it’s small so only when its accumulated to dangerous
cluttering levels do we usually realize that there is a problem with too much
paper work.
Make a vital records
keeper.
Buy a water tight file box that is around 13 11/16 “W X 10
3/6 “L X 11 7/8” H in dimensions. From there, have fun. Pick out file folders
of any colors or patterns that you like. The only rules is that the files all
have to look different.
Color coordinate each folder and then create a label. Your
label could just be a simple hand written or typed up piece of paper that
identifies what each colored folder represents.
For example:
Red-taxes
Green-medical
Blue – business
Yellow – bank statements
Tape this label on the inside of your file box but with the
wording facing out towards you. You should be able to see the label while the
file box is closed.
We know it could take a week or even a month in and of
itself just to gather and filed all your most vital records. For this
challenge, pictures of the box and folders are a great start.
We can’t wait to see!
