Okay, so perhaps you wouldn't put Downloadable Forms under 'FUN' but that's why I do what I do: because it's fun for me!
Document Retention
How long should you keep the bank statements from before you got married? How about that Living Will? Do you still need to hang on to that receipt for the ceiling fan? I've typed up some general guidelines on how long you should keep various types of documents (the accuracy of which has been approved by my financial advisor!). It makes a quick reference when you are unsure as to if there will be any ramifications for discarding a certain piece of paper.
Filing Guide
Sometimes it can be very frustrating to set up a filing system because it's hard to keep in your head all the different categories you may or may not need. Print out a few copies of this Filing Guide (double-sided, please!) to map out the folders and files you need before you end up making duplicates of categories and only make as many as necessary.
To-Do Sheet
Keep all your different tasks on one piece of paper: shopping, errands, daily to-do's, longer-term projects, emails to send, phone calls to make. If you make these all separate lists you will have to add 'Find To-Do Lists" to your to-do!
