2012 Quick Tip Week: Designated Space for “To Be Filed” Paperwork

May 6, 2012 by Tracy

Having completed another large event, I placed blogging on the back burner during the busyness.

In an effort to catch up, I give you a week of quick tips for each category in the blogging schedule.

In using time wisely, these tips can save you money, energy, and time. 🙂

The first tip comes from the document category to help during seasons of busyness when the paperwork keeps coming and you cannot stop to file the documents.

Quick Tip #1: Designated Space for “To be Filed” Paperwork

In dealing with the daily mail, printed statements, and receipts, choose a designated space for the paperwork that needs to be filed. By sorting the mail and discarding unnecessary items, you will have only the pertinent items remaining.

In using time wisely, place these items in a designated space for future filing. I like to use a wire basket. If I need an item before I get a chance to file it away, I know where to look.

With all your paperwork together, you will save time and energy from searching for an item that you know you have. Designated space for “to be filed” paperwork” is worth your efforts while using time wisely. Happy organizing!

Question: What type of space holds your important documents until you can file them?
