I have been working very hard on organizing everything in my apartment. It feels SO GOOD that I can find anything with relative ease. I pretty much know where everything is. I still have one more crate to sort through and organize, but it’s just a bunch of cables that need to be separated and wrapped individually!
MissJennyJen,
I would recommend getting the plastic storage organizers with insets for file folders. Get the manila file folder organizers (at Staples or somewhere like that), label the folders appropriately and then disperse your papers into the organizer. I don’t have one, but my Mother does. She organizes all of my SSI/Foodstamps/Apartment stuff in it and it works like a charm. It does help to get a $30-35.00 label-maker off Amazon (or at the store) so you can make nice, readable labels.
Actually, you’ve inspired me! Now I’m going to get a file folder organizer for my product manuals! It’s time to be an adult about my paperwork! I’ll organize my financial stuff, too!
For your daily mail, you might get something like this. I have one in my foyer/living room:
The key is to have ‘insets’ or ‘drawers’ – that you can disperse your paperwork into. Your mind should be able to remember the rough location that you dispersed your paperwork into with the aid of the slots or ‘drawers’! It doesn’t have to be perfect!
I just did a final ‘third sweep’ over my closet. Organized my leftover cables by individually-Velcro-ing them and placing them in a cable container. Found some winter stuff and put all of that in a big bin, too!

I have a few graphic novels (‘Blankets’ is one of them – which I highly recommend), but 95% are art-training books (books about Color Theory, Linear Perspective, Matrix Math and Rendering Algorithms) – and just a few stupid books that are extremely childish, but which I keep regardless!
I’ve never had enough of a friend network to play RPGs in person. I am a videogame RPG-fan, however!
