Filing plan & tab system (German, based on German law)

12-page plan for households and freelancers in Germany: binders and tabs, German retention periods with sources, routines, checklists and templates. In German.

The plan explains a simple system in three stages – inbox, to do, file – and provides the matching structure: twelve binders with six tabs each, one set for households and one for freelancers in Germany.

It also includes an overview of retention periods under German law with statutory references (as of November 2026), weekly and monthly routines, a year-end checklist, a scheme for digital filing and templates to fill in. The plan is in German and does not cover other countries’ rules.
