She had created a pocket like that for her checks and a bit of cash. At the end of the day, with her transactions recorded on the outside and her receipts in the pocket, and after having moved the checks/cash to a new pocket, she puts the whole thing into her "inbox" for processing. I'm not quite that organized yet, but being someone who has multiple accounts to manage, I find having pockets for each has made keeping things separate much easier. You just never know where a great idea might be lurking.

I never thought about it but I will now. I had my wallet stolen a few years ago. Unfortunately, I hadn't implemented any of the best practices you outline above. The thief cleaned out both my checking and savings accounts within 12 hours, used a credit card to pay a cable tv bill before I could get it canceled, and six months later bought pizza with my stolen checks on the closed bank account. I consider myself blessed that there was no further damage, and the bank reimbursed all my losses but not without major hoop-jumping on my part. It was a miserable experience and one I don't want to repeat. All of this is good, but the two checks in the purse suggestion is priceless. I never thought about it but I will now.
