How to Store Important Papers

This is the question we ask ourselves every time we need to find our marriage certificate, an important finance document or a medical report. In today’s post we’ll try to convince you that important papers deserve more attention and careful storage.

Our life is accompanied by documents practically from the moment of birth. With time the quantity of stamped papers is growing exponentially – our personal documents get complemented by numerous certificates, warranty cards, contracts and important mails. Most of us store all this treasure in a very random way, mostly in different drawers and boxes all around the house. But there are plenty of ways to organize the storage of important papers in a simple and laconic way, understandable even for a small kid.

The most convenient way is to store documents in transparent file folders kept in one single box. Here it’s a matter of your choice how to categorize them most conveniently. The most popular categories might be payment documents, medical reports, legal certificates, papers concerning the house, warranty cards, manuals for domestic appliances, contracts, job-related documents and so on. Also very helpful can be plastic zipped bags, labeled file folders, baskets, boxes and drawers. And if your grandpa left you an antique bureau cabinet with multiple drawers, be sure that the paper storage problem no longer exists for you.
