    Disorganization can be bad, but being messy may not be all bad according to Inc magazine.

    That statistic about rebates (that 70% are never claimed) is cringeworthy.

    When we upgraded our cell phones over the holidays, the salesguy and I filled in all the info right there at the counter. All I had to do was drop it in the mail! Amazing that people can’t get it together to do that.

    I’ve heard lotteries described as a “tax on stupidity”. Maybe unclaimed rebates are a “tax on disorganization”?

    At our house, bills and other active stuff like rebates go directly into one of those wire-coil envelope holders. Always. We’ve never missed or lost a bill. It’s all even sequestered out of sight in a childproofed cabinet/credenza, but the habit is so ingrained.

    When life is extra-harried, I’ve been known to open and glance at a bill, and if I can’t sit down to write out a check right away I’ll write the due date on the outside of the envelope. That way when I do get a second to think about paying bills I can make sure I get the ones due soonest paid off first….

    I could go on about this all day, but maybe I’ll just say: manila files, cheap; knowing you could get your hands on any critical document at a moment’s notice, priceless.
