What Works for Me Wednesday! On a Friday! Yikes! It’s been a crazy week. I am still getting my feet under me from school starting, fall sports, music lessons, and work! It’s progress, right?! My goal for now is just to post weekly, even if I don’t always get it done on Wednesday.
So, last week I showed you how I did my filing system with all the kids paper work. More often than not I cannot go through every paper the minute they are handed to me. (Or set on top of the kitchen counter in the middle of dinner, or breakfast.) Anyway, rather than have them pile up in the kitchen I have incorporated something I learned from the Power of Mom’s website. Here is the link.
Just like we have an “In Box” in our email where all emails get sent to. I have an “In Box” in my home. It is a big bin in my shelf in my office. Everything goes in here. Bills, kids papers, magazines, coupons, every piece of paper that I am going to need to look at goes in here. Then, I will schedule myself time to go through that box and all those papers.
From there I will sort and file into my kids filing system that I posted about last week. Link here. (I need to go through mine, BAD!)
It has been a lifesaver to have a designated place for all the paper. I loose a lot less, and accidentally throw away a lot less.
Hopefully sharing this “In Box” system was helpful to you! And maybe it will work for you too! Happy Friday!
