Just to keep track of what was paid and when. I pay bills bi-weekly since I get paid bi-weekly; so I have arranged my bill due dates to always fall after I get paid. I use direct deposit to funnel money into various checking/savings accounts. 70% goes towards bills, 20% goes towards savings, and 10% goes towards impulse purchases (routed to my checking account). The account used for bills is a high interest savings account so any money not used for bills builds up over time which in the end makes bills a little easier to pay (a whole 2-5 cents cheaper wooo, but the more that saves there the less I'll have to pay in the long run if enough money gets saved there and my bills get less and less).
Although recently, I've finally gotten around to utilizing Mint.com abit more now so I'll see if that will replace my handy-dandy-text-file-list-of-billage-doooooooooom....
