I mentioned binderizing, upthread. I'm doing this more and more these days. The fat insurance binder now has sections for medical, dental, vision, etc., and subsectios for bills and insurance notifications coming and going. A similar one for tax returns and pension-tracking notices is shaping up.

The one I really like though-- Next to the recliner now sits the "Current" binder. No tabs, no sections, just a slim (recycled of course) binder where anything of current interest is easily hole-punched and inserted and held till no longer of interest. Since December, for example, it's been hockey stuff-- team rosters and the NHL collective barganing agreement-- to browse or refer to during games on TV. A proofreading copy of our band's timeline/history was in there for awhile; fitness articles printed from online to share with Hardi; recipes in mid-refinement to scribble notes after a bulk-cooking effort. Example: a low-cal, hi-protein breakfast casserole that no longer resembles the hi-fat, really yummy one we serve guests at Mudcat weekends. Sixteen serving-size recipe with nutrition analysis all calculatedm, in I think 4 flavor varieties. Takes about ten minutes now to whip one up for an hour's oven baking. No more excuses for bad or skipped brekkies-- from freezer to microwave to plate, zap! Portion control, the whole deal.

Anyway, this "Current" binder is sort of a personal magazine kept always current and purged often, since it's very narrow, maybe 3/4 inch and doesn't hold more than a body can pay attention to.
