STEP 2:  BILLS, BUDGET & Birthdays

  • ​Identify and jot down the bills that need paid monthly along with their due dates and method of payment such as automatic withdrawal, on-line, or by mail.  Place them in the order in which they are due.
  • Create and jot down a basic budget using the 10-10-80 rule (10% tithe, 10% savings, and 80% living).  Try using a free budget application to track your budget monthly.  Currently, my favorite is everydollar.com.  
  • Write down the names of birthdays (an even anniversaries) to whom you want to send cards.  Place them in chronological order.  Remember the important people in your life such as:  family, friends, neighbors, clients or co-workers, and professionals.

STEP 3:  File & TRACK

Place your desk work tracker in a fridge file. When it's "Desk Work Tuesday" (or whatever day you chose for that chore), grab it and let it be a simple guide for completing bills, budget and birthdays.  

Where do I place the desk work tracker in the fridge file?  Here's my order.
  • File 1 Front - Daily Routine or Monthly Calendar
  • File 1 Back - Desk Work Tracker
  • File 2 Front - Meal Planner
  • File 2 Back - Blank
  • File 3 Front - Family Chore Chart
  • File 3 Back - Extra brochures regarding local events
