{Organizing} My Office Files!

For Me I have a lot to File. My hubby has 3 Business,  Generation Builders a construction Company, Barnett's Water Pros that dose backflow testing for the city, And Barnett's Energy Wise a Heating and Air Company. 

So with all these I always have so much paper around my house and all over Our Home Office. And Its my job to File everything. It becomes a lot.

 And that's not even counting All His Helicopter pilot Paper work he has to keep on file, Household papers, Our House Info, Rental Info and Now Baby Papers. There is a lot.

So Here is How I File
I have one 4 drawer filing cabinet in the closet of our office and One 2 drawer Filing Cabinet as well.
The 4 Drawer Cabinet
Drawer 1: Business Papers
Drawer 2: Properties, Taxes & Insurances 
Drawer 3: Household
  •  Recipes To Try
  • Couponing
  • Household List
  • TV & Internet Info
  • Manuals, Fridge, Microwave, Dishwasher etc...
Drawer 4: Hubby's Helicopter Files.

The 2 Drawer Cabinet
Drawer 1: Back Taxes
Drawer 2: Office Supplies

You Might of noticed that I Don't have a Files for the Some Normal Items. That is because I also Use Binders for Many things. 

My Bill Binder: A Binder I keep all bill info in
  • Due Bills
  • Paid Bills
  • Check Stubs
  • Family Yearly Budget
  • Family Monthly Budget
In another post I will Explain My Bill binder!

Blog Binder: I also keep a Binder with all my blog info in it.

Medical Binder: I Have a Medical Binder for each of us, with any medical info I need is in there.

I will Explain The Medical Binder In a Later Post as Well.

How I sort and Pay my Bills weekly!

On My Desk I have 3 Holders one for Incoming Mail, one for Things needing to be filed and one for things my hubby needs to go through.

Once a Week (Mondays) I sit down and sort through the holders. I first will go through the mail putting any bills in my binder and marking down when they need to be paid. 

as for junk mail I throw that out normally before I even bring the mail inside. because after i take it out of the mailbox i will just walk over to my outside trash can and put the junk mail in there.

Next I will Take some Time to pay my Bills and Look over my bank account. Putting anything that needs to be filed into the "Needs to be Filed Holder"

Then next I will take everything out of the Need to be filed folder sort throw it and then file everything. If i don't have a file for a item i will take some time to make one.

I never leave my office on Monday until all the bills are payed for that week and the mail & File holder are empty!

This is what helps me stay on top of my Paper work.
