Organizational Tools

If I had to rank my favorite organizational tools it would go something like this...
1) Google Calendar: it helps me organize my personal and business life with little effort. I like the fact that even if I lost my phone, all my events, birthdays, and reminders would be stored. I also have it linked with my husbands phone so if I want to say, set up a date, I just put it in our shared calendar.
2) Mint.com: It helps me tremendously with my budget. It automatically uploads all of our latest transactions from our checking account, credit card and even investments. I even sends me alerts if I go over budget. The best part is that its FREE
3) Filing cabinet: I could not live without a large filing cabinet. I hardly have any paperwork out because I invested a little time in organizing my paperwork into files and now as soon as I open my mail, it either goes into the filing cabinet or into the trash.
4) Cloth or canvas storage boxes: Jacob and I each have a labeled storage box and we put all of our latest memory items into it. I kept finding random photos and tickets all over the house, so I bought some cute boxes from Tuesday Morning and now as soon as I can't let go of something, I just stick it into the box. We also have a travel box so I stick all of our travel memorabilia into that box.
