A Month of Less: Organizing Paperwork

Am I the only one who struggles to deal with the important papers that seem to arrive daily?  And now that our boys are at school, there are so many more!  I’m always surprised at tax time that I’ve actually found most of our forms, though it takes a lot of searching. 

 A lot of my papers get shoved behind the phone – this is my “to be dealt with” pile.  But I don’t deal with it very frequently, and the pile grows.

So I found a section of our cupboard and put this file holder in it.   I labelled one part for taxes, and left the other section for misc. items.  If necessary, I can add a third one on top.

It seems to have solved my paper problem for now.  All the papers are very accessible, but  neatly stored out of sight.  And I have a clear counter!  Here’s hoping it will last!

I live in Bowmanville, and am a mom to four young boys - it can get a little loud in my house. I am a Christian, a part-time French teacher, a piano teacher and former homeschooler. I love finding the best deals, which will come in handy when our boys become hungry teenagers! We just moved to a house with more outdoor space, and I'm still getting used to life in the country (a walk around the block is a lot longer here!).

  1. Ahh yes, It’s the time of year again. Which reminds me I have forms all of the place too as well. I just have to get going and organize my stuff as well ! Thanks for the reminder!

  2. We have a file system, but sometimes they get piled on top until we get to filing.
