I wanted to welcome you all to my blog and wish you a happy new year!
January being the month of new year's resolutions, it's also a perfect month to start many organizing projects to get your home and office in order. What are some of the things you could do in January? With a new year starting, get rid of many documents, files and receipts that you no longer need. For instance, you need to keep 7 years worth of tax related documents. Now that we are in 2009, and you will be filling your 2008 taxes, you no longer need to keep those tax documents for 2000 and below. Cable, phone, hydro bills? Keep account information, but not years worth of bill statements. Expired warranties, receipts for items you no longer own? These are all documents you no longer need to pile up all over your home. But be careful, in the world of identity theft, make sure you shred all documents that may contain any personal information.
Give yourself some time on a daily basis to go through different documents and receipts that you have been collecting over the years and start removing those you no longer need. To go a step further, start labeling and filing documents for the new year - preparing yourself for easier management of all your finances and daily tasks. This is something that a professional organizer can help you with. It would give you a great, clean and organized start to a new year!
