  Organizing Tip

Keeping Paper Under Control



Paper clutter is a HUGE problem for so many people. In fact, in polls we've conducted over the years, it has been voted the number one organizing challenge nearly every single time.

While a paperless society may sound good in concept, for many people, having that hard copy paper in front of them, whether it's an invoice, an article they're interested in reading, a report for work, a TO DO list, a magazine, a newspaper, a schedule, etc. is still preferred by thousands.

My organizing tip today is, therefore, Paper Management 101, because keeping it under control truly comes down to some basic concepts:

1) Keep on top of it. Once a paper becomes obsolete or no longer relevant, it's time to recycle it. Scheduling a 15-minute 'weeding out' session once a week will help keep paper clutter at bay.

2) Handle it daily. Incoming paper or mail needs to be handled daily...otherwise it tends to get out of control very quickly. Mail can be sorted over the recycle container...only keeping what truly needs to be kept. Once the rest is brought into a home, it should be sorted...bills in the 'bills to be paid' folder, reading material in the 'read today' folder, schedules posted on the family bulletin board (old schedule should then be recycled if applicable), papers requiring a signature or TO DO need to be done...a nightly 'office' time (for home paperwork) will help you keep up with it.

3) Ease up on the inflow when you can. Calling companies and unsubscribing from paper mailing lists will ease up on the catalogs and advertisements being mailed to you. Switching to paperless correspondence/bills, etc. will help you get through your mail quicker and with much less paper. Be careful about (avoid!) signing up for sweepstakes, which always results in more paper (and digital) mail.
