Lesson Overview

17.3 – Creating a Paperwork Filing System: A reliable filing system transforms chaos into clarity by giving every document a permanent home. Begin by identifying broad categories—financial, medical, education, personal, and receipts—then break each into subfolders for quick access. Label folders clearly in large print, using consistent terms that make sense to you. Store active files in an easy-to-reach location and archive older materials annually in a separate box or cabinet. Consider color coding so you can visually locate information faster. Regularly review folders to remove outdated documents and keep your collection lean. A structured filing method saves hours during tax season, school enrollment, or emergencies. You’ll never have to dig through random piles again because your paperwork will tell its own story in order. Building this structure isn’t complicated—it’s a steady habit that makes adult life feel simpler and more under control.
