My major problems are the
bills to pay and important addresses and phone
numbers. I keep losing
these things and sometimes pay my bills late..
How can I stop all this from happening?

Dear "Bewildered,
Every piece of paper and type of information in our life
needs an appropriate "home." These valuable
records should live in an accessible place until we need
them again. No one likes the feeling of frustration or
panic when they can't find what they're looking for.
When bills arrive in the mail, put them away immediately.
Create a "Hot Action File" in a hanging folder
with a label: "Bills To Pay". Another system is
a 3-ring notebook with monthly budgets and pockets. File
invoices chronologically by due dates.
To save valuable time looking for those important
addresses or phone numbers, act immediately! Be commited
... add all new data to your address book or database as
soon as they're acquired.
In an emergency, you or someone else may need to quickly
find important phone numbers or paperwork. Don't wait to
"get organized"!
Happy Organizing,
Donna
