We've got a filing cabinet that I keep all paperwork filed in, my planner is where I write down what bills are due when and how much money should be in my checking acct every week, and then I use Mint.com to keep a view on all our savings accts and investments. </p> <p>I like paper :p I keep trying to put appts on my phone calendar, but I like my planner better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-home-management#post-1094358 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:20:52 +0000 MrsKoala 1094358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Google Calendar for keeping track of all of the life events, Mint.com app for finances (but DH does this for both of us too), and the medical records, I keep in a basket of "important stuff" including tax returns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-home-management#post-1094337 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:11:16 +0000 LovelyPlum 1094337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: this is us, too! Though we have switched to getting most of our bills electronically. It's a lot easier that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-home-management#post-1094328 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:08:33 +0000 looch 1094328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Outlook reminders for appointments, most bills are paid electronically/automatically, so we don't even think about those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-home-management#post-1094325 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:07:03 +0000 Mae 1094325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha yikes ummm I don't. All our bills are set to auto pay so we just don't think about them. We sit down and go over our checking account/credit cards the first of every month just to make sure there is nothing unexpected, but other than that everything just takes care of itself. </p> <p>For medical records--- I guess I rely on my doctors to have those? </p> <p>For appointments--- I use google calendar which syncs to my phone. </p> <p>And for household tasks we just sort of do what needs to be done. We both clean pretty well without needing to bug each other about it so it's not generally a problem. Sometimes if things are looking a bit messy we declare some day a cleaning day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-home-management#post-1094324 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:06:52 +0000 blackbird 1094324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh files everything into a filing cabinet downstairs. </p> <p>Old School FTW </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-home-management#post-1094309 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:03:49 +0000 artsyfartsy 1094309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a home management binder where I keep track of bills, medical records and appointments, household tasks, etc. but I'm not great on upkeep with it and its very flawed!</p> <p>I'd like to do something digital that I could update from my phone or computer, like an app. How do you handle home management? </p>
