Wrangle
the Mail
Controlling
your mail is one of the easiest ways to avoid paper clutter. First, go through
all of the mail you have laying around. Toss the junk and place all of your
bills and important papers in an accordion file. To keep mail from stacking up,
sort everything the minute you walk in the door. Immediately toss junk or anything
that doesn't interest you. Also, go online and have your bills sent to your
email box instead of your mail box. Most utilities, banks and credit card
companies offer this option.
Consider
purchasing a scanner and getting all of your important
documents and paper work in electronic form. Manage
the Magazines
If
you're a magazine subscriber, it's likely you have a stack or two of magazines
cluttering your home. Try these steps to keep your collection of periodicals
more manageable:
These
tips also work well for newspapers. Sort
Out School Work
If
you have kids, at least once a week a backpack is unloaded and you are
presented with a mountain of graded worksheets, permission slips and school
newsletters. Here's how to keep it organized:
Stick
It to Sticky Notes
While
sticky notes can keep us more organized, they can also create clutter.
Try a digital version of sticky notes on your computer or smart phone and
be sure to throw away any real note as soon as you don't need it any more.
Using
these tactics, paper clutter in your home will be a thing of the past and you
can focus your energy on more important things.
