At the beginning of every year, I always do 2 things to help me stay organized for 2 very important things. The 1st thing is make me a folder for my taxes. I pull everything out that I have saved throughout the year for my taxes and place it in the folder. Then, I put this folder in a convenient spot so when something comes in the mail I can drop it in the folder until I am ready to do our taxes. I first shared this tip with you here.
The second thing I do is update my bill paying binder. I make a payment sheet for each month showing every bill and when the bill comes in the mail I can enter in the amount and when its due so that I can stay on budget and also make sure every bill is paid on time. I DO NOT want to pay late fees. I also clear out all the things that I no longer needed from the previous year. This is where I store all bills, payment books, address labels, letter opener, and stamps. When it is time to pay bills I can pull out my binder and I have everything I need. I have used this binder for 2 years now and it helps me stay organized and I always know where everything is. Also, if dh ever wants to see a bill he knows where to find it. Yes, I keep up with everything. I shared this tip last year here. You can see pictures of my binder there.
