Remember the saying "Slow and steady wins the race?" Turns out it's true. Slow down at work, with your partner and just in general. You may be surprised at how much sweeter life is when you aren't looking at it at warp speed.

Question:How do you organize mail?

Rarely do I forget to pay bills because they get lost in the shuffle, but I'm always scared of that. How do you organize your snail mail? Do you have different bins or places where mail that still needs to be dealt with goes?

Answer:

Hehe, I use trapper keepers for recipes I've torn out of magazines. Haha!

Answer:

Most of my bills are electronic so they appear in my e-mail inbox. I also keep a calendar that lets me know when stuff is due. On payday even if that bill is not due yet I subtract whatever bills are due from my check register until the next payday.

Answer:

This is kind of embarrassing but you know those old-fashioned trapper keepers we used to use in elementary school? I have a couple of those that I use to organize my finances and other important documents. I even bought a bunch of old-school folders to use as files!
