Ok..I've been meaning to write this for awhile. I have been doing quite a bit in terms of organizing (it definately feels good to unclutter) but I have had a hard time organizing some of the finer things....and I saw this special where a woman was talking about her own personal system...I can't remember her name, or I'd give credit where credit is due...this is NOT my idea.
She suggested getting a hanging file folder with enough folders for 12 months and 31 days...ie a total of 43 folders. It seems complicated at first, but what she does to start is place all incoming papers and to-do things simply in the proper month folder..ie bills, etc that are due at a certain time. Then when that month rolls around, she places each bill, permission slip, etc in the appropriate day folder...and has herself organized for the whole month...As things come in for the next month, she throws each paper directly into the next months folder...and at the end of the month, she just sorts them into the right days...and off she goes.
I got file folders a couple of weeks ago and I'm at the beginning phases...but you should see how clear our desk is...and I KNOW where all of those itty bitty pieces of paper are where I wrote down a phone number, etc....
I just wanted to pass this along.
