Filing cabinet bursting at the seams? Piles of paid bills shoved in the cupboard? Now is the time to get that paper sorted!
February is a good time to go through all the paperwork from the previous year. As you do this, think ‘Will I need to refer to this again? What is the worst that can happen if this is lost?’
Recycle/shred what you don’t need to keep and file the rest.
You don’t need to spend hours and hours filing, just put in a logical, chronological order, strap it together and put it safely out of sight but accessible.
File like with like. Bank statements together. Regular bills together. One-off bills that you may need to refer to (Who did that roof mend back in 2007?) in another stack and so on.
You’ll soon have a clear space to collate the files for 2009.
