Harmless Dilettante What I should have said, was nothing.

File papers that need filing, throw away others (read all 2 entries…)
The bottomless In Box

The inbox in my office is perpetually overflowing. I need to deal with everything in there and stop it from spontaneously regenerating.

The Plan: from now on handle each piece of paper only once. No more tossing stuff in the file to languish for months.

Paper invasion

I found this technique to deal with paper invasion at home.
I have 2 piles: one for paperwork, which still need dealing with, the other pile for paper that needs filing.
Each day, I deal with one item on each pile. This way it’s not so overwhelming… and it seems to work; the piles are shrinking!

Good Plan

Unfortunately, I deal with papers as they come in, and toss the filables in the To Be Filed box. Then I tackle the mammoth pile around tax time. Having my own business has fertilized the pile! I plan to just file stuff as it comes in in the future, but so far I’ve been taking the easy way out.

Work paperwork

Actually, I have a 3rd pile for work stuff. Since I’m an accountant, that comes more naturally. I do my own business account monthly at month end and the task finishes by filing it all.
Of course if you are really busy, you would probably be better off using the services of a bookkeeper… who would do the filing for you!
