Simplifying the Filling Cabinet.

You know what I hate? Clutter, hoarding, a lot of stuff with no use to it. This ginormous desk that I have is a clutter magnet. It became a habit to throw whatever didn't have an assigned home into a drawer to only be found months later. I have been on an organizing kick since the beginning of the year. It all started with my taxes this year. I was super organized, have everything from this year in an organized binder so I thought "why can't I do this with the files in my desk?" So that's what I did.

I felt some rearranging was in order.

 Yeah, this desk is huge and has a ton of drawers.

And the files come out. This includes a mix of business and personal junk.

After a few days of filtering through junk papers and organizing things into categories I came up with a few different binders.

Home Information:

This will include mortgage/refi/HOA documents.

Paint colors used in the house

warranty manuals

approval of home projects

animal health records

Heathers Personal:

Important items like birth certificate

SS card

previous taxes filed

Massage Business Documents:

This is a big one. Everything I need to run my business and anything that Wayne will ever need in case I die.

Massage License, CE Docs, Provider Contracts, Lease Info, Massage School Docs. I know one day this binder will need to be upgraded to a 2 inch.

And then 2012's Completed taxes and 2013's Profit/Loss.

If I ever get an audit for these two years I will be the most prepared LMT they have ever seen.

A few others that I need Wayne to organize the documents for are auto maintenance and we will have a finance/budgeting binder as well.  They will all sit neatly and organized on this shelf. 

So maybe you are wondering why I went through the trouble of emptying out my desk? We have plans for a homemade desk in the future.
