Trying to get organized

What is tonight’s activity? Well it’s to try to get organized in all of our paperwork. For some reason it seems like our paperwork just kind of grows and grows. Now it’s not really stuff that we have to keep, but I’ve been keeping it .. well…. just in case I need to refer back to them. Now that’s kind of dumb I think. I had quite a pile to go through to even start my task tonight. So the first thing that I did was to get some notebooks lined up. A friend of mine from work is probably the most, OK she IS the most organized person that I know and she is successful using notebooks. So that’s my 2014 plan. My first notebook has information on the community project that I’m helping with. This one was easy. I only went to two meetings so far 🙂 Then the second notebook has all my passwords in it and also my Mom’s computer passwords. This one wasn’t too bad, but was getting a little bit more complicated. The third one? Well that one had my ‘to do’ lists. I usually write them down on scrap pieces of paper and this way maybe it’ll help keep me motivated. The last one was the big one. This notebook has a working ledger of our expenses and other financial information in it. Now I know that it’s not going to be perfect, but I think it’ll help us to keep track of stuff better. I guess time will tell right? Now just to figure out where to keep all my notebooks.
