Project 2.2: The File Cart

This post is part of Project 2: Living Room. Warning: this post is not too exciting, but it's progress, and that's what we're documenting here. =]

Yesterday I cleaned out my file cart in my living room. Do you see it there, in the middle of all that other furniture? I hope to someday get a lateral filing cabinet -- a wooden one. Someday... But for now, this works just fine.

Before:

Process:

I took maybe 5 pictures, and Jazz made his way into every single one. He's needy.

Ah...my labeler. =] Love it...<3

After:

I relabeled all of the files and threw out most of the manila files. I think I have 500 of them, so it wasn't too big of a loss.

Yellow categories:

• health <3 Chris: medical records, insurance info
• health <3 Tiffany: medical records...and I have quite a few of those
• memberships: membership info for things like NEA, Shaklee, etc.
• * Chris: personal records
• * Tiffany: personal records
• blogs: info about my blogs

Blue categories:

• banking: bank info
• SSM Hub: Chris' work info
• taxes $ Chris
• taxes $ Tiffany

Red categories:

• apartment: insurance, agreements, etc.
• Jazz: dog records
• major purchases: receipts and warranties
• utilities: electricity, internet, etc.
• vehicles: titles, insurance, etc.

This is the pile of documents I had to shred.

This is all of the garbage to be recycled.

There you have it. Project 2.2 - completed!
