I have paperwork coming out of my ears, property stuff, home stuff, development stuff, software stuff, kids (school, childcare etc) stuff, medical stuff, bills, invoices, receipts, warranties, bank statements, loan statements, credit card statements, car stuff, truck stuff, tax stuff... STUFF from companies and trusts..
I have, in the past, ended up with multiple full in-trays for filing each 6 inches high
One thing that started working well for me now is I've changed from filing cabinets to Ring Binder folders right there ON desk that is (almost) dedicated to managing STUFF.. My hole punch, envelopes, stamps, cheque book in easy reach.. maybe it'll continue to work well, maybe it wont, I have a long history of failed great ideas in keeping organised
I'm thinking of dedicating a set time each week to keeping STUFF under control.. I'm a terrible terrible pro-crastinator.. maybe that'll help too.
I bought the "Getting Things Done" book by David Allen but I havent read it yet
Here's my "STUFF Desk":
I'll hire a personal assistant when the cashflow permits.. in the meantime..... I'd love to hear everyones tips for keeping on top and organised.. I guess its all self discipline, but any cool hacks, ideas, thoughts, websites, software ideas, etc.
