Is your
purse full of receipts, coins, cash and cards? Simplify your life with these
ideas.
Consider
using separate change purses or sections of a wallet as an "envelope
system."
Keep your
most used cards in a handy part of the wallet and consolidate lesser used cards
into another section or change purse. That way you don't have to sort through a
pile of membership/debit/credit/health/library cards to get to the ones you use
most.
Have a
set place to put your receipts, either in the wallet or in the same section of
your purse.
Empty
your wallet when you get home. Well, not all of it. Just take out the day's
receipts and coins and store accordingly. For example, I put receipts in my
monthly receipt box and take loose change and put it in a container for myself
or the household, depending on how the original cash was spent. (I keep the
cash in separate pouches.)
Refill
your wallet as necessary. I try to live guided by a budget so I have a certain
amount of cash for spending each month. I choose not to carry the entire
month's cash at once, so I replenish as necessary when cleaning out my wallet.
If you
get in the habit of cleaning out your wallet/purse regularly, before long it
will be second nature.
