Paper is my nemesis. If there is one thing I do not manage well, it is paper. I have a system that works, a filing cabinet with all life’s papers organized by subject. When I need a paper, if it has been filed, I can find it easily. The problem is getting paper filed.
So much paper comes into my life. I love mail, but the daily delivery of paper adds the the disorganized heap that lays on various furniture pieces. I need to find a way to manage the incoming mail. Don’t worry, I sort immediately when mail comes in, mine, my husband’s, and I place junk mail directly to the recycling bin. The problem is: I am either not disciplined or I don’t have enough time to manage paper weekly. Beyond a week of management, and then a paper monster is created, creating a sense of overwhelming mess.
I have seen a few ideas to try and manage paper that comes in, but honestly I haven’t tried any of them. I am not really sure why. So my goal over the next month, try a system and see if it works. Below I have attached a few links that shares tips on managing the monster.
So after doing some research I am going to try to implement an action file and the Freedom Filer system. Hopefully this will be the year I tame the paper monster.
