Step 1
Set aside a special place to put your bills when they arrive, such as a desk cubbyhole, a special section in a drawer or a bill inbox. As soon as you receive them, open your bills, then put them in this special place.
-
Step 2
Set aside two times a month, two weeks apart, to pay bills. The middle and end of the month are good times.
-
Step 3
Call the companies that send you bills and have them revise your payment due dates to correspond with one of the two times you plan to pay your bills each month.
-
Step 4
Mark your calendar to remind you of bill-paying dates and to help you keep to your schedule.
-
Step 5
Pay your bills with checks or money orders, then note the check number, the date and the amount paid on the receipt portion of each bill.
-
Step 6
File these receipts away and keep them for seven years.
-
Step 7
Place the envelopes containing your payments next to your keys so that you will remember to take them with you and mail them immediately.

on 5/18/2009 Very good article! I believe the sooner you have the bills out of the way, the better. I arranged for mostly all of my bills to go through e-bill. This is a service where you don't recieve any paper bills. You get an electronic bill in the same format as the old bill you used to recieve, and you simply click on the bill to pay it. E-bill offers reminders and record retention for the very important "Proof" factor. The service is offered free through most online banking sites and can make the experience of paying bills so much easier for the procrastinator to accomplish.
