Project time!

Now that I have created a couple habits that are in line with my current goals (1.  blogging every couple days, 2.  cleaning one room/part of the house every day), I think it is time to tackle some smaller projects to add on to these.   Let's be honest, there is always something you can pick-up / clean, so I think there is still time in my day to do small tasks or projects in addition to that.

First up is a household binder.  I want to put all our important documents in one place and protect them. Things like our birth certificates, insurance policies, 401(k) statements, and other good / need-to-have documents.

I have heard that it is best to keep this kind of thing in a safety deposit box or safe, in case a) your house is ruined by fire/flood/tornado or b) your house gets broken into.   I wonder if scanning or taking pictures and uploading them to a cloud service like Box.com would be sufficient.  I know it is important to keep original government documents (birth certificate / passport / SSC) in a safe place, but I think simply making a copy of the other stuff is ok.


Stay tuned for the finished project!
