that means no more:
o1. “avoiding” bills
o2. forgetting to fill out and return important documents
03. losing papers/documents/bills
o4. forgetting to mail things off
o5. ignoring dates & deadlines
o6. forgetting to do homework/reading assignments/papers
o7. not responding to e-mails
o8. procrastinating in general!
i have to learn to stop ignoring bills (burying them under other papers on my desk does not take care of them!) and face responsibility.
possible strategies:
o1. get stackable paper trays for my desk and label them: “to do” (applications, paperwork), “to pay” (bills) and “to mail” (completed paperwork); sort mail immediately into files once received, and go through the piles at least once every other day.
o2. when i receive important mail or documents, i make note of the deadline/response date immediately, and i mark it on a calendar
o3. always have stamps on hand! it makes mailing things so much easier!
o4. respond to e-mails within one day (keep in inbox, flag as “unread”
o5. keep an accordian file of copies, receipts, deposits, etc.
