That is how it works in my house. I pick up heavy she does tedious. Win win. I do enough tedious at work.
When the numbers of important papers got to be so numerous, we bough a filing cabinet, and some folders. It's a lot easier to manage them, and quickly find what you need, when they're filed.
Now those I can find, they are all in an accordion file. Previous owners gave me a big stack.
Ha!!
I have to re-organize file cabinet periodically---people don't always return things to its place, or a pile develops on top.....get rid of stuff you don't need anymore
Easier said than done, I must have a hoarder gene, on top of all the other brain issues.
I don't keep old utility bills--they are available on line. I used to keep 6 months of all bills/bank statementsI'd give my paperwork/filing a grade of C on some things, and D- on others. I have 3 or 4 places where things might be. Now, those places are JAMMED CRAMMED full, so it can take a while to find anything.
I know someone who said if you asked her for her electric bill from a specific month/year, she could lay her hands on it in under a minute. Starting from out in her front yard, timed with a stopwatch.
Well, now that I think about it, this conversation was 28 (!?!) years ago... Back before everything was online. Oh my, time flies...
