3 Ways to Keep Paper Clutter from Taking Over


It doesn't have to take a whole lot of time to keep paper clutter from taking over. Sometimes, it's the teeny-tiny things that you do that take hardly any time, but are incredibly effective.

1) Whenever you add paper to one of your file folders, go through the folder to see if older papers can be discarded. Let's say you have a folder marked 'Electronics.' You just bought a new TV and pulled that folder out to insert the paperwork that came with it. When you open that folder, you quickly go through it and discover you're still storing paperwork for the television set you've just gotten rid of. A good time to discard the old paperwork, that is no longer of any use to you, is when you're ready to insert the new paperwork. Weeding out, each time you open a file folder, helps reduce the amount of unnecessary paperwork in your files and your life.

2) Don't allow mail that you don't need to keep to sit on your counter or table for days. Go through your mail daily. If there's a flyer you're not going to use, pitch it immediately. Extra paperwork that came with one of your bills? Recycle anything you don't need right away. A catalog you're not going to buy from? Say goodbye before the mail even enters your home.

3) Designate a paperwork action station. Some papers you receive require some sort of action. You might have a form that needs to be read and signed, an RSVP to respond to, or insurance paperwork that needs to be read. Designate an area where this paperwork goes, like a tray in your home office or kitchen. Every single night, at a consistent time, go through this tray and take action. Sign and send the form. Respond to the invitation. Read the insurance paperwork. As you complete the action on each (being sure to get any important dates written or entered into your calendar), get rid of the paper if it is no longer needed. If you have to save it, store it where you'll easily be able to find it, such as a folder in your filing cabinet (Insurance Paperwork.) I generally keep invitations on our family bulletin board until event day...and then I get rid of them.

Some people are eternally happy no matter what their situation. Others find it a constant struggle to find happiness. Most folks are somewhere in between both of these.

Throughout the years, I have determined that the happiest people in the world are not just happy 'by chance,' but because they've taken specific actions in their lives. Once you know and apply these actions, you'll be able to harness and release the happiness that is deep within you.

Whether you're looking for just a little more happiness or a whole lot, my Happy for Life resource includes the information you need to multiply your happiness levels. For more details, including the three factors that contribute most to increasing your level of happiness in your life, visit:
