Paper Clutter is enough to drive anyone crazy. To attempt to fight the clutter this is the system we currently have. As mail comes in we drop it into 3 categories: addressed to me (or the boys), addressed to Sean, and magazines or catalogs I want to look through at some point.
Why is this the hardest part? Dropping into the bins...not the desk :)
Once a week I will go through my bin and then divide into sub category files: Gavin, Bentley, To be filed, Bills etc. I keep these files with others such as menu planning, coupons, recipes I want to try. I store them in an itso container from Target. Love, Love the itso containers they are everywhere in my house. All papers to be recycled go into the white tin.
Any outgoing mail will be hung on the magnetic board which is conveniently hung next to the door.
I have been overdue to go through my bin. so that is how I used this week's challenge: just tidied up my current system. The only way the system works is if I use it!
if that was the extent of your paper clutter, you are one very organized lady!
ReplyDeletehaha! I throw or recycle a ton of paper before it hits the desk. I am sure it will get harder when my boys become school age.
