Here's a test: Think about all the stuff you have at home. Now write it all down. Every. Single. Item. Impossible, right?
Unless you're like Monica Geller from Friends, you might not prioritize hyper-organization. But when the going gets rough — e.g., a house fire, robbery or natural disaster — you'll want to be prepared, at least to make an accurate insurance claim.

“A lot of times when a disaster happens, people don’t have an inventory, and trying to reconstruct what you owned can be quite a challenge — you might overlook things,' says Andréa Basora, senior vice president of digital communications at the Insurance Information Institute. 'So you might end up getting less of a settlement than you would otherwise, because you just didn’t report everything.'
Gone are the days when you'd need file boxes full of instruction manuals, printed photos and receipts. Go digital.
Basora recommends downloading and using home inventory apps that let you input an item's details, such as a receipt copy, a picture, a description, how much it's worth, how much you paid and where you bought it. She also says to consider reliable storage for your digital home inventory (e.g., cloud storage). 'That’s going to be very important especially if a disaster occurs and all your stuff is destroyed. Make sure you have a way to get to it.'

The co-founder of the Home Inventory App for Mac, Diane Hamilton, recommends avoiding stock photos and taking actual pictures of your belongings when creating your inventory. Hamilton also says an immediate benefit of creating an inventory is realizing how much all your things are worth, so you can get the right insurance coverage.
“It's so easy to be under-insured,' Hamilton says, adding that life changes and policy complexities make that easy to overlook.

Taking the time to inventory your things gives you 'peace of mind,' says Hamilton, and also prepares you for even minor disasters — if your washing machine overflows and causes water damage, for example.
“It’s not something that you’ll probably sit down and do continuously for a few hours,' Hamilton says. 'You want to start with the basics; start with a picture and go through and do it room by room.”
