ephanie Denton, a professional or ganizer based in Cincinnati,Ohio, who specializes in both residential and commercial paperwork and recordkeeping. To get a successful grip on organizing documents, bills, and othermaterials, Denton suggests the following tips: 2 Create a space in which you can always do your paperwork.This is perhaps the most important element of a successful system. If you can'tdevote an entire desk to the task, at least invest in a rolling file cart tostore active paperwork and a two drawer file cabinet for family records. Storethe rolling file cart wherever it is most convenient and comfortable to do yourwork, whether that is the kitchen, of flee, or family room. 3 When in doubt, throw it out. The first step to implementing aworkable filing system is to eliminate paper you don't use, don't need, or thatyou could easily access again elsewhere. Throw out duplicate statements, oldcatalogs, and all of the coupons, mailings, or offerings you'll never have an opportunityto use or even read. 4 Set aside two days a month to pay bills. If a monthly duedate doesn't fit into your cycle, call up the creditor and suggest a moreconvenient date. Keep two manila folders at the {rent of your system forcurrent bills -one to correspond with each bill-paying day-and file allincoming bills. Keep a list in the front of each folder of what needs to bepaid in case the invoice never arrives or gets misplaced. 5 Think of your filing system not as a rigid tool, but as aliving, breathing system that can accommodate your changing needs. A goodfiling system is both mentally and physically flexible. Everyone's needs aredifferent, says Denton, but when devising a filling system, ask yourself:"Where would I look for this？" Create main headings for your filingsystem, such as Investments, Taxes, Children, and so forth, and file individualfolders under the main headings. Never overstuff your files. {TS}Paragraph 2__________
