NeatDesk High Speed Scanner & Digital Filing System Giveaway – CLOSED

This giveaway is now closed. The winner was Jeremiah from jeremiahlee.com.

Home office organization – one thing I want so badly to attain, but struggle with considerably.  There used to be a time in my life where “there was a place for everything and everything in its place”, but as my family grew, my life grew busier and I put keeping track of important information to the wayside.

Business receipts would be stashed away until I had time to enter them into my spreadsheet for our accountant. Business cards I would gather from conferences would sit in the bottom of a drawer, with the hopes that someday I would enter them into my contacts. Recipes that I had printed off of blogs or torn out of magazines were stacked and shoved into drawers, waiting for a time when I could find a better system to organize them. As much as I longed to be organized, finding an easy system that worked with my busy life was difficult.

Enter the NeatDesk High Speed Scanner & Digital Filing System. Earlier this year, my friends at The Neat Company shared this incredible product with me and it has enabled me to easily bring organization back to my desk.  What once felt like an overwhelming task of manually entering all the receipt, business card and recipe information I was behind on into my computer, was taken over by the ease and functionality of the NeatDesk.

One of my favorite NeatDesk features is that everything you scan in becomes searchable and organized. The NeatDesk includes patented Neat software to identify and extract key information from your paper files, then automatically organizes it in a functional database. It is not only “neat” but also a very smart little machine.

Oh – and one more thing… using the NeatDesk input tray, you can scan up to 50 items at a time. No sitting next to your scanner all day babysitting your scanning project. Input your items and walk away and within a matter of minutes, the NeatDesk will have your information scanned and organized, just like that.

For a complete list of the time saving and organizing features of The NeatDesk and NeatReceipts software, make sure to check out The Neat Company website.

    Best organization tip? Stay on top of it! Ha. I try, oh so hard to keep my desk clear, but I NEED something like this in my life! Mmmhm….a tip? Mise en place for life? Just have everything ready, for when you need it.

  4. Beth (OMG! Yummy) says

    Oh how I dream of an organized office. My tip would be to not start a pile or hide a stack of unfinished business – one pile becomes many and hidden piles are forgotten and grow, almost like socks disappear in the dryer 🙂

    What a neat product!

  7. Jane Bonacci - The Heritage Cook says

    My best advice is to grab a large business envelope and keep all your scraps of paper, receipts, notes, etc. in it until you have time to transcribe them. This way you know exactly where they all are and they aren’t floating all over your home or office. And of course, use a NeatDesk product to keep them organized!!

  12. Candice says

    I shared a small office w/ my Deputy Director for the last few months. I found it easy to have a once-a-week morning be “cleaning the office” mornings. We spent so much time there that this was a nice refresher every week.

    Plus, we treated ourselves to coffee right after! Win-Win!

  26. Miss Lori says

    I am in desperate need of this Neat Desk. My life is ruled by paper and receipts as an independent contractor and entrepreneur. Nevertheless, I can offer the suggestion to take an envelope marked with location and dates with you on any trips out of town. that way all relevant receipts will be in one place and marked. I’m also a big fan of labeled file folders!

    SMILE!

  27. Deborah says

    Oh, I long to be super organized!! The only thing that keeps me on top of things at all is to take care of things as soon as possible instead of letting bills and receipts stack up. That way it’s not too overwhelming!

  32. Lela says

    I schedule every pay day as a clean off the desk and pay bills day. It takes about an hour and everything gets put in its place. This machine would sae a lot of time!

  34. Teresa says

    My organization tip is to handle a piece of paper only once instead of moving it from stack to stack, take the time to deal with it.

  35. Jill says

    I try to handle anything no more than twice so as to complete it – don’t let things sit – JUST DO IT!!!

  37. Jan says

    My best tip is don’t let anything leave your hand without dealing with it. If you lay it somewhere or put it in a stack, it will have to be dealt with later. If it needs to be filed, file it. If it needs to be thrown away, throw it away.

  38. Emily says

    My tip is to never leave a room without taking a quick scan to see if there’s anything that needs to go somewhere else. For example if I leave the office I check to see if there’s anything laying around that needs to go to the kitchen, if that’s where I’m heading….

  43. Karen says

    My best organization tip is not to let the mail pile up. If it’s junk mail it immediately goes into a basket for shredding. Coupons go in the coupon basket and everything else that’s important can get put on the table by the door. This saves me from having a “crazy moment” when I open the door and am attacked by a giant mail pile that is mostly junk.

  45. Heather says

    I could so use one of these… My best organizational tip is to let the husband help 😉 I need all the help I can get with 2 kids!

  47. Katie Walker says

    I also just became a fan of NeatDesk on Facebook as well as began following them on Twitter!

  52. Chrissy Snyder says

    My best home office organization tip is to have a shredder! Shred everything you don’t need anymore – if you don’t have a shredder or have too much to shred check with your local area to see when they have free shred it days and you can bring your documents and have them shred for you.

  54. Mimi Avocado says

    I’ve been looking at the NeatDesk products for a while. I’m really glad you wrote about them, as I’m re-organizing my office system now. I have clear zip-lock bags for each month of receipts, which I like better than my old manila-envelope system. I need to post the receipts more often and keep up with it monthly. I’m sure the NeatDesk system would be a perfect solution for keeping the expenses organized. My best tip would be to set up a schedule and stick to it…don’t let the paperwork back up.

  57. Dana says

    I would love to have one of these! My best tip is to open all mail as soon as you get it and immediately throw out all junk mail. That way you don’t end up with huge piles of mail to sort later.

  58. Kai says

    My best tip?
    Log everything immediately – whether it’s mail, an idea, or bills. Working with a system like ‘getting things done’ or another one that works for you, create and sort a filing system – it doesn’t matter whether you’re a WAHP or run a business from home, it’s critical to ensure that you can put your hands on paperwork when you need it. And if you’re lucky enough to get a scanner, I recommend Evernote for filing stuff, but that’s just because it’s the one I use now 😉

  62. Lori @ RecipeGirl says

    Man, I need this big time!! My best organization tip as a food blogger is that I keep a giant binder organized by month. Every time I make a recipe or grocery shop, I attach the recipe to the receipt and stash it in the proper month. Now if I could just get better about circling which items are actually for the recipe. I tend to do that toward the end of the year… which is a nightmare!!

  63. JulieD says

    One of my organizing tips is to open your mail every day and throw out the junk the same day so it doesn’t pile up! Thanks for this giveaway!

  66. Kari says

    My family’s best organization tip is to deal with the mail as soon as it comes into the house. Junk goes right in the garbage and bills are paid online. No piles of mail sitting around. It really frees up countertop space.

  71. Natalie says

    I try my best to stay organized by having different baskets for everything – receipts, school work, homework, etc. But, I could be even more organized with this nifty little scanner! 🙂

  74. Patricia says

    My tip is to go through ur mail everyday and throw out all the junk mail. If ur not on top of things it will pile up quickly. I love this giveaway. This would make my life so much easier. <3

  77. Katy | Alphabet Soup says

    Hmmm, I don’t really have any good organization tips to share because I am completely unorganized right now! Ok, here’s a tip: don’t get behind!! 🙂 This scanner looks amazing and would help me a ton.

  78. CJ says

    Having a organized home office is essential to success in my opinion. I think NeatDesk products are great. Thanks for the write up.

  79. Debbi says

    I don’t have any fantastic organizational tips- my best ones are to have & use a shredder, and open the mail right away and get rid of the junk! This system looks fantastic. Thanks!

  80. Naomi Dice says

    My best organization tip is, just let me do it. 🙂 My husband has a siding business. However, he is not an organized person. So my part is the paperwork. I would love to have this tool. It would make my job so much easier.

  82. Cathy DeVleming says

    My best organization tip is to only handle mail once. Sort it right away: bills, trash, to-do and then do it!

  84. Stephanie F. says

    My best office organization has been the old school filing cabinet with folders approach. How I would love to get into the digital 21st century. Thank you for the chance to win.

  86. Diane (Created by Diane) says

    Oh this would be a dream organizer for me. I know where everything is, but to anyone else it appears to be a mess. Currently to stay organized I organize business cards and events in ziploc bags labeled so I don’t loose track of where everything was from, then I file them in my file cabinet, which I don’t retrieve things out of often. That is why I would love to have this scanner.
    Another organization tip, is to put it on the calendar right away. Say yes or no to invites quickly. (you typically know if you are going the moment you open it) place the info on calendar, so you don’t forget the little things too

  89. Sarah Beth says

    Yay! So glad to see this giveaway. 🙂

    This home organization tip has helped me so much: Keep a 3-ring binder filled with page protectors. Whenever you buy a new appliance or product, put the owner’s manual, warranty information, and any other relevant information that you might lose into a page protector. Voila! When something arises a year or two down the road and you need the information, it’s simple to find!

  93. Kimberly Holton says

    My best organization tip is to open the mail everyday and throw away what you don’t need. Another great tip I’ve tried recently to clean out the basement is to throw out boxes that have not been opened for more than 3 years (and to not look in them before throwing them out).

  96. Lana says

    I use my digiral camera to take photos not only of office clutter, but of my kids art projects, tests, etc. It was liberating getting rid of all the paper!

  98. Karen P says

    My tip is to open all mail upon receipt. Take out the junk mail and discard it right away to avoid clutter. Separate out other items into actionable piles (shred, pay bills, follow up calls, etc) and try to get to each one within the next 2 days.

  99. Kris says

    My tip is to not leave piles around — if you need to shred something, shred it; if you need to file something, file it. Otherwise, everything gets put off more and more.

  100. Melissa Collins says

    My favorite organization tip is to go through everything right away so there is no build up of stuff or piles.

  103. Paula B says

    My best organizing trick is to TAKE CARE OF IT NOW! If I leave it for later, the stack just grows!

  106. Jordan says

    My best organization tip is probably to stay on top of everything. It’s so easy to put stuff aside and say you’ll do it later, but the best way to keep everything neat is to organize it as it comes in!

  111. Les & Ingrid Foster says

    Never be too hard on yourself. When you become your own boss, it could either be a positive or negative thing. You can tend to relax too much to forsake work, or you can overwork yourself too. After every accomplished task, take time to relax. It will enable you to revive and gather enough strength needed to complete the next set of tasks. By doing this, you will also notice that you produce more quality work.

  112. Brooke says

    I have no good tips!! The only thing that has worked for me thus far is to have an expandable binder that I put everything into. That way at least nothing is lost but there is not much organization!

  113. Heather says

    Wow that is an awesome product! I have piles of paper everywhere! I bought a bunch of colored boxes – pink, blue, green – from the Container Store to organize the kids school papers, bills & medical bills that need to be claimed. They help but a lot of times the papers sit on top of the boxes for awhile until that magical day when I can sort through them:)

  117. Debi Henson says

    And now The Neat Company and I are friends. The best tip I can offer for office organization is to enter receipts as soon as you get them. That’s how I keep our budget as current as possible, and I have an immediate lookback on how we’re doing. The rest of the paperwork…not so much!

  118. Crystal says

    Oh that is sooo cool! My tip is to have a binder for putting printed recipes in. I used to print them and throw them in a drawer and now I have an actual place for them!

  120. Lisa D. says

    I NEED this! One tip is to handle each piece of paper once so you don’t leave piles of paperwork to deal with later. Thanks!

  121. Aura says

    As soon as I bring in the mail I dump junk mail straight into the can so I dont have a bunch of garbage papers lying around also, I clean up my desk every saturday night

  123. Gigi Cuccaro says

    I enter my expenses on a daily basis into my spreadsheet.It makes it easier to submit my expenses on Monday. 🙂

  125. Kim says

    My best organizing tip is take at least 15 minutes a day to keep things tidy, it makes a big difference

  127. Alison C says

    WOW. NeatDesk would be perfect for my family of six. My desk looks like a cyclone hit it and it spreads to the kitchen counter. I would love to win something to help me organize so easily.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  129. Amy says

    My best organizational tip is to not let paper accumulate. I am forever throwing things away especially envelopes from letters.

  132. Christa says

    I’m embarrased to say…I have no good organizing techniqes 🙁 I used to be considered SO very organized by everyone I knew. I was the master of lists ( seriously…I made a list for EVERYTHING). Now that I have 3 children (not to mention all the stray kids we always seem to have around..lol) , everyhting gets shoved into a drawer or piled up. My husband has SO many receipts ( at least 15 a day)and invoices that need filed, but when I finally get a few minutes…it’s SO overwhelming. This WOULD.BE.AWESOME!!

  133. lorene holbrook says

    this would be wonderful to have!!! my tip is I have a plastic file box. a file for each month. then I put reciepts in order. then everything is there when I need to reconcile everything!!!!

    thanks, I sooooo want to win…..

    Lorene

  134. Pat says

    What a great Christmas gift for “me”! I’d love to be included.

    I’ve “liked” the Neat Co on FB. I’m probably the only one that doesn’t tweet.

    Pat

  136. Janet Segura says

    I don’t have a great way of keeping things organized right now. I just throw all my receipts in a tupperware container and go thru them maybe a year later. Would love to be able to get organized.
    Janet

  138. Jill J says

    Sadly, I’m not very organized – I have a folder labeled taxes but I usually end up collecting a pile for at least two weeks before it ends up actually IN the folder lol. This would be a great tool to help me organize myself!!

  145. Julee patterson says

    This would be awesome. My best tip is to write on the top of the receipt what it was for. So helpful down the road when you cant remember!

  147. Kim says

    Containers with lids to hold all the papers that I’m not sure what to do with has been my best bet so far. I could use this! 🙂

  150. Demitria says

    Folders! I use folders for everything! And Post-It Notes. They are my best friend! Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome prize!

  152. MikeVFMK says

    This is exactly the type of organization tool I need in my office. This would be genius for all my travel expenses and receipts as well as any receipts we pick up for our photography business. I’d love this!!

  153. Stacy says

    My best tip is to not let the papers pile up – deal with things like the mail on a daily basis. Now if only I could follow my own advice 🙂

  155. Babs says

    At this time of year, I always keep track of my receipts. I have a budget for Christmas giving and it really helps to have copies of everything purchased to plug in to my spreadsheets.

  159. Pamela says

    I wish I had organizational tips and I wish that my home and office looked this organized but it looks like it was hit with a Tornado!! I SO need this to start me on my journey of getting things back on track!! Thank you for this giveaway and opportunity! Have a blessed Holiday Season! 🙂

  161. Veronica @ Café con Leche says

    This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen for the office organization!!! wowzers! My tip would just be to use post-it notes…i use those things like crazy!! helps keep me on top of all my stuff though! 🙂

  162. Spanky says

    my best tip is : DONT FORGET ABOUT OVERHEAD SPACE. you can have pull down storage on tracks … push the back up and the kids cant get to them… Wonderful

  163. Ana de Paula says

    I liked their page, too. And I loved the product. I am staring at a huge stack of paperwork that need to be filed and I am thinking… we need one of these asap! Tks for sharing.

  164. Tracy Stonitsch says

    Wish I had some tips, I have papers everywhere!! This would be an awesome thing to have!

  166. Spanky says

    I “Like” the Neat Company on Facebook! Thank you again! 🙂 Ps. Putting the tracks against the walls and up about 4 to 5 feet will give you 3 to 4 feet of pull down shelf on the walls:)

  168. Sharon says

    Oh Kristen! This would be a lifesaver for our household! And what a plus on helping me organize all my recipes I love to collect & share! This would be the ultimate multi-task organization! Pick me pick me!;)

  171. Pam @ Antique or Not says

    What a fabulous giveaway! The best tip I can offer for home office organization is not to let the filing pile up; spend just a few minutes each day keeping your paperwork organized. It pays off in the end…my hubby is always surprised when he wonders where that appliance manual is, or the receipt for this gizmo, and I can pull it out in seconds.

  176. Laurie Blackshear says

    This is amazing! Because I total my local and state sales taxes for the year, I have to keep track of ALL of my receipts. This would be a big help!

  178. Marla says

    Keep booklets that come with products in protective sleeves in a binder with receipt and picture. Use tabs in binder to organize products.

  180. Debi says

    I am also in need of organization for my new business -my best advise would be to enter receipts as soon as you can – once the pile up its an overwhelming task.

    Happy Holidays

  181. Stefani says

    This is amazing..! I try to stay organized..keyword: TRY! This scanner/filing system would make life so much easier. My best advice is to organize a little bit at a time! Don’t let things pile up..it’s more frustrating that way.

  184. MaryBeth says

    I wish I had an organizing tip to share. I am hopeless when it comes to keeping my office organized – I make the same ‘I will get organized’ resolution every year and when it’s time to get organized for tax season, I promise myself I will get a handle on organizing my ‘stuff’. Enough whining…pick me!

  186. Pat Fowler says

    The best tip I can give is to stay on top of the paperwork and this lovely system would be just the thing to do that. I’m a fan already!

  187. Robin Whiting says

    One of my best tips I learned long ago is to not let work/paper pile up, first in first out – deal with it as you get it! I don’t or can’t or won’t always follow this rule but it is the best rule if you can do it!

  189. Jessica D says

    My favorite home organizing tip is for Cookie cutters. I nabbed the idea from another blog but it works brillantantly. Peg board bought at any local hardware store, and peg board hooks, they can be moved the accomodate different size cutter and added to in a snap. I love it!

  190. Windy Phillips says

    Home office organization tip: I use one of those cute wire picture holders that I got at a discount store hung next to my desk to hold all my receipts and bit and bobs of paper.

    Of course if I win the NeatDesk High Speed Scanner, I can use it for photos instead!! Thanks for the contest!

  192. Windy Phillips says

    Fan of The Neat Company on Facebook (user windy.phillips). Thanks again for the great contest. I would love to get rid of all my paper!

  196. Miriam says

    Organization tip: Deal with it as you get it. No procrastination…either file it away for record keeping, put it in a file folder to follow up on or shred it.

  198. Dena Hamlin says

    I am an organzational nightmare. Hence the need for such a cool product…but one bit of advice is throw away junk mail immediately. Don’t let it pile up and clutter every available space in your office or on your desk. Toss it or shred it as it comes in the door.

  200. Terri Riddle says

    I have a Home Staging and ReDesign business. I keep a spreadsheet of each job with the costs of items I have loaned out, used on the job, or items I’ve sold. I’m not always good about keeping receipts together until they’re entered into a spreadsheet. This would simplify the process!

  201. Shelly Schmelzle says

    Oh I remember the days when my office used to be organized and my receipts entered and thrown away. Now they just sit and pile up and overwhelm me! I don’t really have any good tips but this product is amazing and would make our lives so much more organized and less stressful! Thanks for sharing the product.

  204. Heather Miller says

    I really don’t have any good home organization tips. I keep all my reciepts in an accordion folder separated into 12 months and I just try to pay bill the day or day after they come in, so I don’t have to store the unpaid ones anywhere. I would love a better system for organizing things because cluttered piles of paper are my biggest pet peave!

  206. Cathy M says

    stay organized by having a paper shredder close by so paper, etc. don’t pile up and clutter workspace

  209. jen says

    One of my best organizational tips (although it’s somewhat common sense), is to sort mail immediately once it comes in. Make an action stack, file stack, and shred stack then place the stacks in the appropriate location (i.e. filing cabinet, on counter for action, or in shredder for shred).

  211. AmyC says

    I once had a bathroom that didn’t have any storage or even a medicine cabinet in it! I bought a spice rack from The Container Store, hung it on the wall, and organized all my hair pins, Q-tips, cotton balls, ponytail holders, etc. in the bottles. It was great, and because it was from TCS, it had labels so I could label each bottle. Later on, when I moved, I repurposed it into a real spice rack.

  215. Amy in MI says

    I tweeted the contest info! My best tip is to throw away junk mail as soon as it comes in the door – it helps to cut down on clutter.

  216. Raquel says

    My organizing tip would be to empty your coupons, receipts (to scan 0r file) every day so that they are not cluttering your purse. Keep coupons in a file in the car.

  217. Jen says

    Put manila folders into each hanging file in the file cabinet – so much easier to pull out a folder and look through than to try to dig out receipts or statements one at a time!

  218. Kelsey G. says

    Best Tip: If you haven’t used it in a year, THROW IT AWAY! This has kept my life chaos-free (mostly) for 25 years!

  224. Amy @ uTryIt says

    My best home / office organization tip is to get clean up and organize a bit at a time instead of waiting for things piling up mountain high. I spend 10-15 mins to tidy up each room/area in the house every day and that doesn’t seem like a lot of time spent but enough to keep things tidy.

    amy [at] utry [dot] it

  227. Bobbie Hawkins says

    I have never been a truly organized person. At Christmas time, keeping receipts is a little crazy! My best meathod is to keep an envelope in my purse/wallet to keep all receipts for returns or exchanges. For recipes on blogs, I have a binder with those plastic sleeves and it does ok, but I still have to put them in. Anyway, what an awesome product! Crossing my fingers.

  231. Jenny says

    I’m the worst organizer, guess that’s why I was so eager to enter this giveaway! Currently, I have tons of file folders and I hoard all of my receipts.

  232. Petula says

    My best tip? Purge documents on a regular basis especially files that flow in often. Create and invest in a system that you really so you’ll be encouraged and excited to use it.

  236. Emily says

    I wish I had a home office, but because I don’t, I have to go through the mail, kids papers and magazines quite often! If there is something I like in a magazine, I rip out the one page and put it into a binder – usually recipes.

  237. Desi says

    I am NOT good at organizer, so I NEED this lol! I have a binder for my recipes and food blog stuff, and a binder/box for all of my bills which is dated by month, and I have a “important papers” filing box for all medical, health, personal papers etc. Besides that, I’m hopeless 🙂

  238. Lauren S says

    I don’t have any good tips, that’s why I need this. Currently all of my receipts are in a bag in my pantry waiting for the organization fairy to pay me a visit, lol.

  241. Aliza says

    The best thing I could think of is to throw away things that you really don’t need! I’m very bad at this, I’m one of those people that keep everything forever. Like since second grade.

  242. Daniela Artis says

    I have an accordion file folder labeled inside all the pouches i. e. expenses, taxes etc. that means all the categories I need later on for the tax declaration, but it is still not a perfect system.

  245. Rebecca says

    Organize everything immediately instead of keeping it in a pile. The longer you wait, the bigger the pile gets, the more intimidating it is to dive in to!

  246. Glenda says

    My tip is very easy… do it when you get home. Keep it easy for yourself, do not build a pile of papers. I really do “like” the Neat Company.

  247. april v says

    The best tip I have is to keep all of your papers, etc under control each day to where it never gets out of hand!

  249. Alicia says

    I don’t have any cool organizational skills. I need some desperately. Hoping to win this filing system to help me out.

  250. Alina C says

    Best tip would be to open the mail as oon as you get it and trash it if it’s non-important and then stack the rest in a neat pile until you have time to sort through it.

  253. Sean Conn says

    The best tip I could reveal would be to shred, shred, shred unnecessary paperwork as soon as you get it!

  254. Tara W. says

    I have dreams of being organized! About the only thing that I do is I have most of my bills set up as paperless. I get an email when they are ready so I don’t even have to sort through a lot of mail. I pay most of them online and get a confirmation # that I save in a spreadsheet file with all my other spending information. I keep track of all my spending all year long. (Helps me see where I spend WAY too much money too.) I also don’t carry a purse so I don’t have a check register to keep up either. I have an app on my iPhone that I enter the info into as I use my card. I try to stay as paperless as possible. (If only there was a way that I could get rid of the junk mail from even coming that would be even better!)

  257. Teather Knaup says

    I remember when I first saw the NeatDesk Scanner. I thought…. who would want that. The unorganized part of me said that doesn’t seem like that would get much use. A couple weeks later I remember seeing it again and it all clicking in my mind. Starting with, I could scan recipes! That entire huge box full of sheets of recipes! I could scan receipts! I could scan everything. I immediately envisioned myself scanning practically the entire house.

    You would cry if you saw my desk right now. 🙁 I need this… I am out of helpful tips! I keep all of my receipts in a large Ziplock baggie!

    My best organization tip is to get rid of everything you don’t use! Donate what you don’t need to someone who does need it! If you don’t use it, you won’t miss it!

  264. Kathryn Crookston says

    My best organization tip is to have all of your everyday tools in one place (like scissors, scotch tape, a calculator, pens and pencils etc.) Mine are on my desk in a divided basket (normally used for picnic silverware). Easy to grab and always in the right place!

    My best organization tip is to organize as you go, don’t wait for it to all pile up…I need to take my advice!

    My best home office organizational tip is to file all paperwork and receipts in the proper spot as soon as possible. I am an accountant and it is disappointing when you need receipts from clients and they can’t find them in all of their paperwork.

    Files! My home office isn’t organized like my actual office but my secret at work in my filing folders. I have a folder for everything and its labeled and dated. They might not be in alphabetical order in my desk but they are in a folder and labeled which makes them easier to find than just loose papers. 🙂

    My best tip is to consider your desk a “hot spot” and never, ever, EVER let yourself lay one piece of paper on it. As long as I keep it clear, I immediately file things. As soon as a stack starts building, I’ve lost the game!

    I now like the NEAT COMPANY on FaceBook!!! I also checked out their webstie, AWESOME products. I have a huge drawer full of receipts, this would help organize all my receipts. Thank You for the OPPORTUNITY!!

    I keep my receipts in envelopes now, one for Walmart, Safeway, etc., but I would love to be able to scan them and then search by date or product.

    My best Office Organization tip is that I have a three slot magnetic file holder that I keep attached to my fridge. The front slot is my Inbox so as mail comes in it has a place to go IMMEDIATELY. The next slot is the Action section, one day each week I go through the Inbox and weed through things, whatever I need to follow up on goes in that slot and I mark it down on my to do list. Lastly, whatever needs to just be put away I place in the To File slot. At the end of each month I sort through this.

    So far this is the best way I’ve found to get paperwork from the mailbox/purse/briefcase in the house and dealt with properly. Its my most favorite system in my home 🙂

    OH MY GOSH I had no idea this was even out there. WOOW thank you so much for keeping us organized! I keep my receipts in a 3 ring binder… it takes hours to organize and file… This would be incredible. Thank you!

  287. Lori says

    This looks like an amazing little piece of equipment. I would love to be able to use this daily. For me, I keep all receipts in a binder,separated by month. So obviously this would help me so much!

    Best tip I have it to take care of things right away and not let them stack up! nlevdan3 at yahoo dot com

    Oh man! You should see my recipe…room. It’s out of control. I need an intervention. I put different color stickers on my recipes… Each one symbolizes something I may want to find easily. I use blue for freezable, yellow for make-ahead, stuff like that.

  292. Carmen says

    since I pay my bills online, after the daily mail has been reviewed, I add the amount to a list of bills to be paid and file the bill right away. that means I only have one piece of paper sitting out

  294. Teresa says

    I try to do my bills online and go through my mail daily or it piles up!

    Best tip? Hmm…maybe going paperless with almost everything? I receive maybe two bills each year that the company’s have yet to setup for auto pay. That’s is so helpful, not having tons of paperwork and bill paying to deal with.
