create a home inventory

I ventured last night to the computer shop to pick up a Contents Analysis Software which will aid me in organising my assets. It’s a very simply designed piece of software but its simplicity gives enormous benefits. I started last night to set up my house plan and am now going through the contents of each room, listing their values, serial numbers, model numbers, cost and any other applicable information.

As I was sitting in my study in front of the computer, I felt this was the most obvious place to start. As I started to tally the asset value of each item, I became blown away by how much really is invested in my home and in essence, how much is at stake if my assets are not insured. It is a huge risk!

I now consider this to be a top priority project for the next few weeks.

I began last night the arduous task of collaborating and listing all of my books. Being an avid reader, I have collected quite a collection over the years so it was quite a time-consuming task.

Nevertheless, I finished the list and now have a comprehensive record of all literature.

Home and Contents Insurance and / a higher level of organisation are the driving factors with this goal. Accumulation is an overwhelming factor in today’s society and I find it does at times over-complicate my own life. Keeping track of our material accumulations and having organised inventories is one way that we can simplify our lives.

Over the next 12 months, I hope to create detailed lists, inventories and accounts of all personal belongings which will aid in the estimation of insurance and secure my records in the case of any unforseen circumstances.
