I'm paid to be organized, and also if I'm organized, I get harassed less by people who think I don't know what I'm doing. Because the appearance of organization goes a long way toward looking like you're competent, you know? :) Not that I am ever saying that everyone else's desks should be maintained like mine, because I do what works for me and expect everyone else does what works for them.
Oh, with a boarder, I'd probably want a safety deposit box too! But I don't have a boarder, just a child, and a frustration with the lack of organization that I at least want the most essential documents piled in one spot. (Honestly, write them all down! It'll give me more suggestions for what I need for the safe I will get eventually.) Occasionally I think about renting out our spare couch/tv room on airbnb, but then I think that I'd have to change the locks after or install some kind of combination lockbox, and I just don't want to put forth the effort. (I'm very paranoid. I blame it on a succession of petty thefts by relatives who stayed with us for visits when I was younger.)
Hoisting and carrying for a living would be impossible for me, so hearing that you do that and wouldn't want to hoist any kind of a safe, well, now I'm doubly convinced that ordering online is the right choice! Even a small safe, which is probably all I need. Not that I wouldn't love a safe for all my jewelry, but, let's face it, 90% of it probably isn't that valuable, just unique or vintage. (The bohemian look I mentioned on my DW last night has been in development years before I knew what "bohemian" was as anything other than "derived from the nation of Bohemia." Or even before I knew there had been a country named Bohemia. Not that I don't still dress in slacks and simple shirts at work quite often. I'm not particularly fashionable in general anyway.)
