- I don’t have an office.
- I don’t even have a desk, or a bookshelf.
- It’s been four years since I last worked in an office.
- I didn’t really know how to do it.
- I kept hoping that there would be an easier solution so that I wouldn’t have to do it manually.
Let me tell you one thing: Neither of the above is a valid reason for postponing my bookkeeping for months, but they all seemed good enough at the time. Now I’ve spent the last couple of days at the kitchen table which had to serve as my temporary office, trying to get all my papers in order – a daunting task to say the least. I think I’ve got it all sorted out now although I still have an overwhelming stash of papers to file.
Let’s just say that I know better ways to spend a weekend.
oh my gosh- i just took a break from doing the same thing this weekend. yuck. one of my least favorite tasks. I’d put it off since we moved to Italy in Sept…but the taxman is calling
so I had to get off my butt!
Even though I’m retired I still do tax returns for a few people. Three guesses whose return usually gets done last!!!!
Good luck!
I used to have a filing cabinet back home. I miss it so much! I was definitely more organized back then. Now, I have things in a folder here and there and it’s frustrating when I need to look for a specific document!
Yea, I gotta get to that, too. Not looking forward to it!! Hope it is all done by now!
