By Christina Favero Do not let your " to file" pile get out of hand. Take a few minutes each week to organize, sort, and put away all of the random bits of mail and assorted papers that collect on your desk. Purchase an inexpensive filing cabinet or a filing box and some folders with tabs. Organize alphabetically by general titles; automobile insurance, health insurance, instruction manuals, vacation plans, or whatever works for you. Put the most current documents in the front of the folder so they are easy to access. Also make one folder for each member of the family in which to store important personal documentation like birth certificates, Social Security cards, and passports. In addition, make folders for your pets, as well. This prevents much searching on when doing the yearly renewal of dog licenses or determining when the cats need to go in for their annual shots. By filing a little bit each week, you will ultimately save on time and stress by not having to search for documentation when you are under the gun. Make a fun event out of it. Prepare your favorite beverage, put on some music, and file away!
