Organizing

If you know me, you know that NOTHING makes me happier then new ways to organize. I LOVE getting fun organizing ideas, and I love to rearrange and make things more efficient.
Today, the man that was selling us his treadmill handed us the manual, very impressed they still had it. Then he happened to mention he bought it in 2001 and where he bought it. I told him he had a good memory. He shook his head no, and pulled out the receipt. Now I'm pretty good at my receipts I file them well and I keep the important one for plenty of time....but could I find a receipt from something I bought in 2001 that fast? And then he told me his secret, which to you may not be very exciting, but to me....*sigh*...well I LOVE good ideas on organization. He said he always keeps his receipts for large items IN the manuals themselves and the manuals of course have a file of their own. BRILLIANCE! LOVE this idea.
I know this post made most of you fall asleep. But these simple things MAKE MY DAY.
