How do you organize all the paper in your life? The mail, receipts, papers, etc. I'm just looking for better ideas since the amount of paper in my life has drastically increased with the business.
I will follow-up next week with what I do, but I want to hear your ideas first.

This is an area I struggle with also, and I'm always looking for a better way of doing things. One thing I have gotten on top of is the mail flow. As soon as it comes in I organize it into slots, and toss the junk. This way we don't have junk mail floating around, and the bills all get paid on time. Good luck:)
As far as receipts go, we put ours in a little accordion folder, one slot for each month, after we record it on the budget. After six months I throw the receipts away, unless there is some kind of warrantee associated with it (those receipts go in a separate segment), but when I was in college I would use a mini stapler and staple all the month's receipts together and then store the whole year's receipts in a small bag. Important documents (insurance, etc.) get put in another file/larger accordion file, and bills and statements get 3 hole punched and put in a binder, the rest gets TRASHED!
