The annual filing that wasn’t…

I’m slowly, very slowly starting to get in the mood to do my annual filing. Yes, you read ANNUAL! The sad part is it’s not even a lot – this stack is all the filing, and a good chunk is from the purchase of our home. . Kendra tackled her papers this afternoon 💃🏻💃🏻 and told me she feels “free” now that it’s done! You can see all of that in my IG story. . #before #organisingqueen #filing #annualfiling #papers #organiseyouroffice

For the last couple of years I’ve kept track of the times I do filing.

2012 annual filing

2013 annual filing

2014 annual filing

Then I had it on my weekend list for a few weeks but I wasn’t feeling it, until I did.

And then I realised I’d set a new record – 2 years and 3 months til the last time I did filing, which was the week I started my new (then) job in 2014.

I’m actually quite impressed because this means I’m not keeping very much if it all still fit into the little suitcase under my desk 😉

And it still only took an hour, and that was with me tossing much of what was in the file, getting the documents ready for this file and instagramming the whole thing 🙂

And now it’s all sorted til December 2017 (or 2018 :))

Are you up to date with your filing? If you keep your papers in chronological order, you could just toss all the old stuff… just a thought 😉 Otherwise, let this be inspiration for your weekend organising project.
