Tax Time
When storing tax information, place all records used in a large manila envelope. This includes: credit card billings, receipts, check registers, bills and any other documentation used in calculating your deductions. A copy of your tax forms also needs to be included. Date the outside of the envelope w/the tax year and file towards the back of one of the filing drawers. (Better yet, use an archive box for storing tax files). This means the oldest year will always be in front. Save tax records for 7 years. At the end of each new 8th tax year just toss the entire envelope in front. Certain types of businesses are required by law to maintain records indefinitely. Check with your local tax attorney.

Organize for Success
The challenge to stay organized has become increasingly difficult. With more dual career and single parent families, as well as families caring for aging parents, the challenges are growing. Buzz words like "downsizing" are becoming a daily reality. And "doing more with less" is a common motivator. Not only is there more to organize than ever before, but the effects of not being able to find what you need when you need it can range from annoying to outright stressful.

Schedules, budgets, inventories, personnel files, medical records... the thousands of facts and figures that keep you competitive, solvent, profitable, and most important, stress free.
