How I Organize Without Using A File Cabinet

Paper clutter is one of the biggest "stoppers" of being organized, isn't it? Having a catch-all place on the counter, in the office or bedroom for papers, is a common dilemma.
Often these piles of papers are so large that they start to topple over, causing even more frustration. Honestly, it's probably that pile screaming "please declutter me" as it can't even stand up straight anymore! Been there!

Teddie Simpson on Feb 03, 2015There are even a lot of manuals I trash like the ones to a electrical screwdriver or a ceiling fan. They can be found online and downloaded. I have kept the biggies like the refrigerator, stove, air and heating system.

Elaine on Apr 23, 2016When sorting through papers to keep, I watch for unusual receipts that might be nice momentos someday. For example, I have the old canceled check that my dad wrote to the hospital when I was born over 60 years ago. Checks aren't returned with statements any more, but some receipts have value like that- like receipts for engagement/wedding rings, wedding gowns. first cars, first pets, etc. A generation or two from now, those will be fascinating to our heirs. Maybe a tab called Archive or Vintage?
