If you’re going to need it later, then put it away where it — and everything like it — will be easy to find when you need it. (It’s called a file, a folder, a database, a cubby, a labeled shoe box, a drawer, a room, or a mini-storage locker.)</p> <p><b>Why it matters: </b>Take the lazy man’s approach.
