Call to Action: Follow-up

To recap, the challenge was to finally tackle the piles of unfinished business in our lives/homes/offices, particularly those related to bookkeeping. 
My mess was in large part due to moving last month. We had thrown the hanging files back into the file cabinet haphazardly, the files hadn't been updated in over a month anyway, and "current projects" were distributed randomly throughout the office in various piles and boxes. Here's what I did:

1. Organize the file cabinet.
   • I made sure that all the new clients had their own folder (even if the files are still empty right now), and I filed them in alphabetical order.
   • I added a folder for previous clients and projects to move old ones out of the way.
   • We file receipts by month, so I made folders through the end of the year.
2. Organize receipts.
   This was tedious, but necessary. I'm glad it's done.
3. Create a "current projects" area. Right now I'm just using a file crate, which I keep next to my desk to always have pertinent information at hand. Everything goes into hanging files there, sometimes even whole client folders.
4. Take lots of breaks.
   Hence my 44% win rate on the advanced level of Spider Solitaire.

Even as I write, I notice there's a pile of "random" papers accumulating on my desk, so this is definitely an ongoing battle. However, it is now under control.
How did you do?
