A Practical Approach to Paper Organization

JUST IMAGINE ...

  • Sorting through papers in a few minutes every day, instead of dropping them on the counter with the hope that you'll get around to looking at them someday.
  • Finding the document that you need in seconds instead of rooting through piles of paper in multiple rooms throughout your home.
  • Inviting guests into your home without first clearing the tables and chairs of assorted piles of paper.
  • Sitting in a home office space that's set up to help you do the things you want to accomplish, instead of stepping over the random boxes and bags that regularly get dropped in the room.
  • Knowing which papers you need and which ones you can get rid of, instead of setting them down on the table because "you never know." (You will.)

Susan McCarthy of A Less Cluttered Life

Hi, I'm Susan!

When it comes to paper, I'm a recovering over-organizer!

Okay, maybe it sounds strange that there's such a thing as over-organizing paper...but there is. For years, I had files cabinets that looked organized...but they were really filled with papers that I'd never look at again. I wasted so much time organizing what was really just clutter.

I'll help you realize what papers you need and what you can get rid of; so, you can streamline your files and spend more time doing something you enjoy!
