 Keeping Your Papers in Order
When I conduct workshops I am usually asked, what do I need to keep? Below is a list of items you need to keep and where they should be kept.
- Lawyer: Wills, Trusts documents, Power of Attorney and other legal documents be sure to keep a copy for yourself.
- Safe Deposit/Fire Proof Box: Birth Certificate, Naturalization Papers, Marriage Certificate, Adoption Papers, Deed for properties and Title to car, Investments Documents.
- Home Filing Cabinet : 2-3 years worth of Tax returns, warranties, Bank/Financial Statements, Bills, Credit Information, Insurance Information.
- Family Archive: Older tax returns, financial documents, school papers, etc (these documents are usually stored in a basement or attic).
- CD/Memory Stick: Scan all important legal and personal documents to ensure you have a back-up.

 Managing Your Time to Manage Your Projects
Spring has sprung and you have vowed to get organized. The tips below will help you get started no matter if you have decided to organize the garage, attic or closet.
- Set your goal. I want my garage organized so the car does not have to spend one more winter covered in snow.
