Paper Organization: The Easy Way
The simpler, the better!
Instead of trying to create elaborate systems for organizing your papers, try using something as simple as a labeled clothespin that you can pile in a tray with all your “to dos” lined up.
If you have no system in place, this can be a great starting point to get you used to bringing the mail to your tray, opening it, and sorting it right away.
The best way to keep papers under control is to have a designated place to bring them in from the mailbox, open them, and decide immediately what needs to be done with each one.
If you don’t have a paper organizing system in place and the time to do it daily, set aside about an hour a week to go through everything on the weekend. With these clearly labeled clothespins, you’ll be able to sort and tackle what needs to be taken care of.
