How to stay organized in a sea of paperwork and "To Do" items?

Tweet

It seems all major life events...and even some not so major ones involve paperwork....and the ability to stay insanely organized. I have learned that theying to keep all these details in your head more often leads to being disorganized and forgetting some major piece of the puzzle. When you are in the midst of one of these projects what method do you use to stay, organized and on top of things? Me, I carry a planner with me almost all the time. This more often than not keeps me from double booking appointments and provides me with a place to keep notes. I also make a binder to put all paperwork in that I have to keep track of. This is also super helpful. In fact, not only do I have a binder for planning events, but I have a recipe binder and a craft project binder. Maybe you are planning a wedding, planing a move, buying a new car, applying to school or getting ready to have a child. How do you stay organized and keep track of all the little pieces that go into these and any other events?
