Thanks! Momentum makes magic. When you organize in manageable, reliable stages, there should be no detail that slows you down. This is because at each stage, you create context and context, drives decisions. Good luck with the process!

Thank you for your tips to organize the paper documents! I searched bunch of the videos which explained how to sort the papers, this video is definitely the best!!

Thanks. I think there are a lot of different systems for putting files away but I’m not aware of another system for removing files.

Thank you so much for this! As someone suffering from the pain of dealing with lots of paperwork, this video has helped me tremendously. Subscribed.

I love all your information and videos! And your book! I would really like to buy the File anything in your home book, can you please send the information on the back of the book for reprint? It’s not available on Amazon or Half Price books. Cannot find a place to purchase, so maybe we could buy a manuscript copy? Thank you!

Matt do you know where I can purchase the book? I can't find it available anywhere. There's one on ebay selling for $4,995!

What are suggestions on organizing statements versus records? What is the best definition of each?

First I will distinguish between Information (left tab) and records (right tab). Information would be things like policies, that you would replace when you get new policies or data that you want to keep off your computer, or any sort of handy reference. Records would be things like vital documents, medical records, repairs, or most legal files. Mostly, they help recall critical dates, when filling out forms and they offer proof of important events in the past. It’s worth distinguishing them, because it makes easy to know what you don’t have to worry about circulating. Remember, that, if you trust you can find all these pieces of information and records digitally, then there’s no need for the paper files. (I would still keep your birth certificate, etc:-) Statements, which go in the center tab, are isolated because they are what should be rotated out of your flle cabinet every year after April 15. These are bank statements, credit card statements, and all other statements that you are keeping as tax-supporting material. You might want to keep them handy during the current year to check on payments you've made, but after a year and after taxes have been settled, there's no good reason to keep them handy. If you are comfortable tossing them, then go ahead, but if you have any doubts at all, then at least store them more remotely and free up room in your handy file cabinet.

Can you please post the ISBN number of the book File Anything in your Home that you reference? I can’t seem to find it anywhere. I’m happy to purchase a used copy if you know where to find one, or if you have an address to the publisher. Thank you!

You mentioned the Find Anything book set out the major categories that one needs in the file drawer, but I can’t find the book. Can you list the major categories you find useful?

@MattBaierOrganizing

Sorry for the slow reply. Unfortunately that book seems to have gone out of print since I posted this video. I can however tell you the major categories: (your address), home, family, utilities, medical, transportation, banking, credit, finance, taxes. You may want to make "insurance" a category, but I find it's easier to break it up by the other categories.

Matt, what is the strongest hanging file folder on the US market?

Hi DJ, I am not exactly a Consumer Reports of organizing product, but I can tell you that I’ve never had a file-load that could defeat the 2 inch capacity Pendaflex hanging file. Have you had a bad experience with hanging files failing you? (Was it Pendaflex?)

This maybe a stupid question but what is the difference between information and records, pertaining to the 3 tab system? Thank you for any help.

@MattBaierOrganizing

Not a stupid question at all. Thanks for asking. Information is for information that you would use in the future. Records are for things that have happened in the past that you might need to refer back to.

@@MattBaierOrganizing So records and information still sounds like the same thing. Maybe I am missing the point. I think I am a smart guy. 😂 Just missing the point on this one. Are records like ‘Where we bought our last ac unit from’ Information is more dealing with more pressing issue like ‘who is our insurance company’ sleepier files are records?

No worries. Thank you for replying. Your videos on organizing paperwork have been very helpful. I have always known what to do. Lately it has been overwhelming when I closed my one business and brought my second business to work from home. Everything was just placed in my house with no rhyme or reason. Anyways thank you.@@MattBaierOrganizing
