This means today I've got resources for you that include this week's challenge article, all about organizing contact information, plus the introduction to paper organization and decluttering! Week #16: Organize Contact Information Challenge Are you ready for a new focus in the Organized Home Challenge? I hope so because starting this week we're switching gears and beginning to focus on paper organization. To ease into this big organizational area I thought we'd start with something that wasn't too daunting. That means in this week's challenge you'll [organize your contact information]( you've collected for friends, family, businesses and emergencies so it is available when you need it. Part of living an organized life includes not having to search for basic information over and over again. We want and need to be able to contact friends and family quickly, when we want to talk or write to them, without having to search high and low for their latest contact information. In addition, places you don't call frequently, but you need periodically, such as the appliance or car repair shop, or your favorite hairdresser, should be readily found instead of trying to search your brain for the name of their shop to look it up in the phone book. Finally, in real emergencies you want to have phone numbers or other vital information at your fingertips, so you can act quickly. This week's challenge is all about setting up systems for collecting this information, and gathering some of it in easy to reach places that we can access quickly and easily on a regular basis to make our lives easier. That means that this challenge is a list of discrete steps to take to get all these systems in place, and your contact information in the right places in and around your home.
