[QUOTE="Fran, post: 113186, member: 3"] I like the filing drawers the best. 4 sounds about right. Thanks trinityroyal. Your suggestions and those of every other organized person helps. Everywoman, I can't even imagine no paper bills. Maybe someday. Linda,I can see your accountant style management. Very sleek. Nomatic, I figured if I was thinking about maybe others will benefit. Star, your system seems easy and efficient. Thanks. TM with your weather, I would let husband win that race. LOL. I think I will set up a work station of some sort with file cabinets with folders and divided by years. I am pretty much past the basket stage. I toss junk mail immediately. I used to do bills 2twice a month then weekly and now it seems something is pressing during the week. I hope as the remodel is coming to an end that will settle down. I hand all mail that I am not directly responsible for to husband's desk. There are things that he needs from that pile. (one more letter from the college alumni committee and I may have a meltdown. Can you say begging?) Right now, I have a pile of receipts to file for the year 2007 so I can send the 2 accordian files to husband's office for tax season. A pile of things that husband and I need to go through together and finish. A pile of things that may come in handy for the future(adverts and work type things) A pile of incoming mail that is linked to difficult child. A pile that is linked to easy child. I have files for difficult child, easy child and the dogs. The dog's file is in the truck but I need to put the current vac updates in there. I can see that I need to set up a system that is a little more structured than I have been using. I need more of a work area. I tend to like the kitchen. I don't shred much but husband does. I do a lot of tearing. I also have to decrease the amount of incoming paper. It is overwhelming. Maybe e-bills is the way to go but they make me nervous. Easy to accidently delete or for something to automatically be kicked into the spam folder. I seldom get through the advertisement catalogs. I should just dump them from the mailbox to recycle. Thanks for all the helpful ideas. Next I'll have to ask how people organize their kitchens for some insight. I try to organize it as I use it but the pantry is becoming a large junk drawer with a door. husband's closet is becoming disorganized. Maybe baskets will work there. Jan. is a good month to try to set things right for the year. [/QUOTE]
