Easy Summer Organizing Project - A Warranty File

I don't know about you, but summer is not a time when I tackle any heavy duty organizing projects.  I like things to be easy and breezy so we're sure to  enjoy plenty of time outside and a flexible schedule.  That being said, I think it's a great time to do little tasks that can be done watching a late night movie or on the occasional rainy afternoon or evening. 

Enter:  An easy summer organizing project - A Warranty File

Supplies needed:

file folder

marker (if hand-writing labels - I just used the labels that came with the file folder, or label maker)

stapler - to staple receipts and warranties with manuals

Simple Steps to Take:

I collected all the stray warranties in the house - some were in a paper pile, others were with the product, some were in a stack just waiting to be filed

sort through them and throw away warranties of products you no longer have

staple receipts and warranties to the manuals when you can - this is a huge timesaver in the event that you need the manual/warranty/receipt

determine several categories - here are mine - small and large appliances are great places to start

stack your warranties and manuals into categories and assemble warranty file
