The one thing I really hate for the start of the new year more than anything is cleaning up all the paperwork from the previous year and get all information together for tax time. I think I dislike it more than putting away the Christmas decorations. My method is to put them into manila envelopes with a description on the outside. I then put them into the typical banker's box for storage. Then when the required saving time is over, I pull them out, shred them and re-use the box and the envelopes. As long as I'm up to date on my filing, it can go pretty quickly. I think because I work with paper all day long, I dislike having to at home. So that is what this weekend is dedicated to, getting my old paperwork put away and ready for the new year.
Do you have any special way of keeping your files stored? How long does it usually take to get things in order for the new year? Or are you one who puts it off until tax time comes around?
