How To Set Up An Easy-To-Use Filing System
The In/Out Box Method
Next » « Previous4/6
Another way to handle bills and paperwork is through an in/out box. This could be an actual office-type set-up with two baskets, or perhaps two shelves on your desk.
To use this method:
-
Place all of your incoming bills, letters to which you need to respond, etc, in your inbox AFTER opening them and making sure they don't need to be acted upon immediately.
-
Go through your inbox at least weekly to make sure nothing becomes overdue. When you pay your bills and respond to other documents, move them into your outbox.
-
When you have the time, transfer the documents in your outbox into your filing cabinet. Your filing cabinet should include all of the things described above in your "Active File."
