Organizing your paperwork

September 19, 2010 03:55PM
Hi,

Although I have only been shopping for a few months, I have developed a pretty good method of keeping all my shopping information organized in one binder, easy to carry around with me.

If anyone is overwhelmed with all the paperwork just one shop can require, not to mention keeping track of receipts, payments, how each company pays and when, log in information, web sites, and on and on, I will be more than happy to share my method of organizing with them. Just email me and we can get started. My work career has required I learn to be extremely organized, and I have been told I excel in organizational skills. If the way I have my things set up is not quite what you like, it would be easy to adapt it to whatever you are more comfortable with, and I am happy to help with that too.

Just email me and we'll get you organized right away!

Regards,
Debbie

I think most of us print very little of the paperwork. We read it, make relevant notes, perhaps save it to the computer as a pdf and move on. But thanks for the offer of assistance!

Since I also work a regular job, having the information in hardcopy makes it easier to look at things while at my job. Employers don't like you spending time on the web for personal things. Also, the way I have it does not involve a lot of paper, just the convenience of having it right there to flip to rather than logging into this and that, here and there, to figure out what's paid, not paid, who I contact, what the times are and on and on. I guess I am old school and like having everything in one place rather than several to figure out what I am doing when. Plus, whether you save it on a computer or print it out, it still takes time. But I have my info when the computer, internet provider, or website is having problems, or when I am not around a computer.

Thanks for the pdf idea though.

Welcome to the forum, debbie. Sounds like you've developed a system that works well for you. Check out the New Mystery Shopper area. Marked "Sticky" and at the top, there are threads that can give you a lot of help with your new mystery shopping career. I've learned a bunch the last two years here.

And saving pdfs to a thumb drive makes them easily portable from machine to machine, location to location. I generally just use the thumb to move stuff from the laptop to the desktop machine, but of course it would be a viable option between home and work as well. I save virtually nothing to my laptop as the machines have much more likelihood of being lost or stolen.
