This week’s challenge is…

This is a VERY important challenge!  By completing this challenge, you will be really helping family in case of an emergency!!!  Do you have all your family’s important information together if needed?  Is everything together?  Is it some place safe?  Would you be able to locate it in an emergency?

This week’s  challenge is:

Decide where you are going to keep your information.

We keep mostly everything on our computer but we also have some files and the really important stuff goes in our family’s safe.

Organize it by category.

Finances.  Get a credit report and check your budget

Health.  Make sure your records are updated.

Safety.  Get all emergency numbers together, copies of credit cards, vin numbers, etc.

Personal.  Take new pictures of yourself, spouse and children and write date, weight and height on the back. 

Get a fireproof safe.

We actually registered for one when we got married because we wanted to make sure we were always “safe”.  We keep everything in there…

all certificates (marriage, birth, baptisms, etc.)

our will  (if you don’t have one, GET ONE NOW!)

passports

digital copies of all our pictures

computer back up drive

wedding negatives

jewelry and other valuables

For a more detailed list of goals and helpful tips, check out Organize Now! today…I love this book! :)
