Today I want to open a portal to my organisation of rights and how I keep myself straight.
To be honest, I did get a little out of shape earlier this year, in fact a lot of it is mainly because I had stopped tracking some items since my husband's accidents. It's not an excuse, it's just what happened.
Like all authors, I signed the contracts, printed them out and popped them in the folder. But, as with all good things, I need to keep constantly going back, updating and checking.
So, today I want to share the simplest, most efficient method of organisation that I've come across for tracking my records and it doesn't rely on my computer... much!
See, I have this filing system in a folder.

Here's my groovy folder. I keep in on my desk for ready reference, it's within reach, easy searchable and very versatile.

Every house I'm currently with (or have been with) has their own section... I've got a page in the front that shows the order I'll find each house in.
Each house has it's own divider page so I know by checking on the side I can find the contracts for that house easily.

The top tabs are named for each book.
Each page is a working document. One house I'm with, if you don't contact them within very constrained time frames automatically re-contract your work for the term again - so you can see I've scribbled all over the page, showing updated information.
Want a copy of my document? See below - I've also uploaded the document in Word File for you to work with!
