Mail, mail, mail!

Getting a Handle on Paper Clutter
Under my computer right by my feet are files spilling over. Ya know those hanging file systems? wait, i’ll get a pic.
Okay, well this is the system that we use for mail. And I use “we” loosely. lol This is what I’d like my hubby to use, but he’s always got his own ideas - darn. Doncha hate that? lolol Anyway, he handles the mail now, so I really can’t complain, can I?
- Reference files: those monthly school schedules, budget forms, etc.
- To do: those things that must be dealt with before next pay day/ or month, or whenever you decide.
- Waiting: those things that have to be put in the “to do” file AFTER those above.
- To file - my advice? Use this sparingly! The only things you really need to keep are
- those invoices that carry a warantee,
- might be disputable/ returned, and
- those that are tax deductible.
- And note - that the above list does NOT include reply forms, things paid online, envelopes, junk, lolol
I’ve made some little tags to go on your files if you decide to use this system. The tag backgrounds are from Amanda Kay’s Strawberry Cake digi kit.
