Just because something can be modernized doesn’t always mean it needs to be.
The best example of this, to me, is the humble filing cabinet.
First of all, filing cabinets aren’t just for files.
Keeping highlighters, a magnifying glass, staplers, etc.
togetherwiththe stuff you use them for is an ideal organizational system.
But I learned this trait from my mom, who is diligent aboutphysicaldocument organization.
But other kinds of documents also need the physical treatment.
A locked file cabinet is her best friend in that case.
Other documents she handles are required to be kept for a certain amount of time before being destroyed.
I’m talking about labeled folders foreverything.
Each tax year should have its own folder.
Each income source, asset, and person in your family should have one.
In addition to clear labeling, I recommend using a variety of colors to represent all the different categories.
you’re able to get100 multi-colored folders for $18.99.
Categorizing and organizing your documents and necessary items physically has a lot of benefits.
You don’t have to break the bank to do it or turn your back entirely on modernity.
When offices close or remodel, they give away a lot of stuff.
