The dreaded filing cabinet monster

It was early Saturday morning when I crept upstairs into our office. I was still half asleep when I attacked.....the filing cabinet and it's dreaded paper monster!!! I've been putting off organizing it for about a year and half now. Papers have usually just ended up in piles on the floor. When I need something, I just dig through the pile. There is about 4 inches of old bank statements that I now need to shread. Well, with this being a new year, the pain going down in my back and leg and thus having a little more motivation, I finally spent most of the weekend organizing the filing cabinet. It's the first major step that I've taken this year to balance my life. I must admit that I felt pretty good by the end of the weekend. It's not completely done, but it made me aware of a few more items I need to take care of. One of those being to get my rewards programs updated so I can start taking advantage of the traveling that I do.
