Paper everywhere: Keep it or toss it?
Posted on Monday, January, 23rd, 2023 at 12:09 AM (No comments)
As an Organizer, the most common question I hear is “how long should I keep documents?” Here’s a guideline on residential record keeping.
Save for 1 month:
- Credit-card receipts
- Sales receipts for minor purchases
- Withdrawal and deposit slips. (Shred after checking against your monthly bank statement.)
Save for 1 year:
- Paycheck stubs (Shred after your W-2 arrives.)
- Monthly bank, credit-card, brokerage, mutual-fund, and retirement-account statements
- Utility bills
Save for 7 years:
- W-2s, 1099s, and the other “guts” of your tax returns

Helping children remember to bring jackets home from school
Posted on Friday, December, 15th, 2017 at 11:47 PM (No comments)
It can be difficult to keep up with children’s jackets! How can you spot when their jackets are missing? Better yet, how can you help your child know when his or her jacket is gone… all before the school’s Lost & Found space is cleaned out.
For jackets: Set up one or two jacket hooks per child, depending on the main jacket(s) he or she wears. These can be in a mudroom, hallway or garage. Install hooks or use the stick-on 3M Command hooks (“holds 3 or 5 lbs.” size). After school, if the hook is empty, the jacket is missing!
