ReAnn Rothwell’s Money Saving Ideas, Tax & Organizing Tips

Some times, you have an item, a job, a project, an article that you just do not have the time, energy or tools to do today. Or it does not need to be done until later. I use my Google and my hard calendar to keep track of those things. I schedule out time in my calendars for that project or to read that article. Then, in my filing cabinet, I have one folder for every month of the year. Into the corresponding month’s file goes the paper work pertaining to the particular project.

 At the beginning of that month, I take that folder out and look through it. Later in the month when I have dealt with everything I wanted to, I put the folder in the back so that every current or upcoming month is in the front folder. 

Dates to remember (like birthdays) are on a sheet for that month and can just carry forward from year to year.
