[View this email in your browser]( [Home Storage Solutions 101: A Place For Everything That Matters]( Dear {NAME}, This week in the 52 Week Organized Home Challenge we're focused on organizing our finances and bills. As part of this, in this Declutter 365 mission, I want you to create either a paper or electronic bill organizer system, so you keep track of when your regularly occurring bills are due, including both bills you receive in the mail and those that come out with automatic payments or through electronic bill paying, so that you don't miss due dates. Make sure to add both monthly bills, but also quarterly and annual bills as well! The concept behind this mission is simple, but it works. When you know the due dates for your regularly occurring bills you can make sure you are paying them in an order which makes sense to avoid late fees, and pay all bills by their deadlines. You can also be setting aside money each regularly for bills that happen infrequently, but consistently, so they don't come as a surprise. To help you with this task I've created a free printable monthly bill organizer that you can use to list all the due dates and other pertinent information, as well as given some information about an electronic alternative for those who prefer digital organization over pen and paper. Free Printable Monthly Bill Organizer Form If you want to do this mission using paper and pen, make sure to grab a copy of the free printable monthly bill organizer form. The accompanying article has instructions for how to use it to your best advantage.
