For the whole week, I'll be focusing on clutter. Actually, getting rid of it!

Today, let's begin with paper because that seems to be one of the biggest clutter headaches for many people.

Here are five 'goodbye clutter' tips for the day...

1) Pay your bills online. The less paper you have, the better. To stop the onslaught of incoming paper, opt out of getting it in the first place, whenever you can. Get your bills, and pay for them, online. I'm nearly completely online as far as bill paying goes. I rarely write out any checks at all. This means a lot less paper and postage.

2) Contact folks sending you a lot of paper. The other day, I received three huge prospectuses in the mail from one of my financial institutions. They went straight to the recycling bin. I immediately called the company and asked them to please send them online, if they must be sent at all. It's not like I've ever even opened one of those anyway. If you're getting catalogs from companies you never buy from, contact them and ask them to remove you from their mailing list. Mark 'Return to Sender' on mail you don't want and mail it back (no need to affix postage.) The senders will get the message...eventually.

3) Recycle as much paper as you can. Check kitchen drawers for an excess of expired coupons and take-out menus. Go through recipe files for recipes you intended to make, but never got to. Check your filing cabinet for old instruction manuals for appliances/electronics you don't own any more. Shred tax paperwork older than seven years. You get the idea. If it's not current and active, it's taking up unnecessary space. Recycle it...and get rid of it.

4) Say goodbye to old magazines and newspapers. Newspapers and news magazines are old news in one day. Craft magazines can easily get out of hand, stacking up sky-high with good intentions to do projects that never get started. One way to get rid of this type of paper clutter fast is to subscribe to your local newspaper...and favorite magazines...online. The town where I live (as in most towns) has an online edition of the newspaper. For magazines, I subscribe to a service called Texture...it's excellent and I get to read all the magazines I like, any time, with no paper buildup. If you prefer reading the printed copies, set a reading time aside each night so you can keep up, or unsubscribe from all but those that interest you the most. Most people way over-estimate what they can read with their busy schedules.

5) Make an 'Action Station.' You'll receive paper, from time to time, that requires action or that you want to save for a particular date. You can store these types of papers in a Tickler file (I explain how to make and use this awesome paper-storage system, step-by-step, in my Goodbye Clutter product), and/or use a bulletin board as your 'Action Station.' For instance, my daughter is going into high school in the fall and we just received a flyer for Freshman Preview Night, as well as an Open House flyer. Both are now on our family bulletin board in the Utility Room so they don't get misplaced. After the events, those papers will be immediately recycled.

All people have clutter to some degree.

You may have a little bit of clutter sitting around--things that aren't really serving any purpose, taking up unnecessary space, gathering dust, and causing a bit of frustration.

Or perhaps you have LOADS of clutter and it's causing your life to be turned upside down--you can't find things easily, you feel like your home is bursting at the seams with STUFF, you have to climb over piles and boxes to get to anything, and you feel overwhelmed and frustrated.

MOST people are somewhere right in the middle of these two situations.

For anyone who just has a little bit of clutter, have no doubt in your mind that CLUTTER GROWS, and small challenges soon turn into large issues.

BUT, here's something NEW I discovered...

Clutter is sneaky...it doesn't only show up in the pile of shoes you may have in your closet, the overload of toys in the toy room, the boxes of stuff in the basement, or the stuffed-to-the-max drawers and closets in your home.

Clutter actually invades your life in FOUR forms...

1. Physical Clutter
2. Paper Clutter
3. Digital Clutter
4. Emotional Clutter

And once it's there, it begins to wreak all sorts of havoc...
