Day 35: Build Good, Small Habits - Record Management

The biggest glaring weakness that has emerged for Chris and me during this process is something seemingly minor, but still alarming.   We don't keep track of finances in a detailed manner, and we are both not so great at keeping our receipts in order for potential reimbursements.  I hate returning things, and keeping track of reimbursable expenses with the company?  Oh my gosh, I think save my company hundreds of dollars a year in unclaimed expenses and if I were a traveling consultant, that would probably figure in the thousands.

This is worth acknowledging publicly for two reasons: one, while this may be a "small" weakness now in terms of actual damage, it has the potential to wreak some serious havoc.  Two, Chris and I'd love some help in this area on how to build small, good habits to make sure we are tracking all expenses and know where those pesky paper slips are.
