Tips for Organizing Excessive Paper

I am plaque by the paper demon. It seems the more i throw away, the more i accumulate. Here are some tips you can use to address the problem.

Shedule It
  1. Set aside a certain amount of time each day to process paperwork. 
  2. Open and sort mail on a daily basis. 
  3. Immediately recycle anything you do not need.
  4. Keep and handle all important documents in one designated area.
  5. Divide the papers into main categories of action whether it is to Read, Pay, File or simply Do.
  
Evaluate It

  1. Evaluate your current magazine and newspaper subscriptions. 
  2. Consider keeping only the subscriptions that you read on a regular basis. 
  3. Donate old magazines to senior centers, shelters or doctors offices after you have read them. 
  4. Keep in mind that more and more magazines these days carry many of their articles, if not the whole issue, online.
Organize It
  
  1. Do you cut coupons, but don't use them? It is a great way to save money, but if you are not using the coupons, do not save them. 
  2. If you do want coupons, make sure to keep them in an easily accessible location so they will be used.
 Do It Online
  
  1. Sign up to pay your bills online with your financial institution. 
  2. This eliminates the need for envelopes and postage, thereby saving money and time. 
  3. You can have your statements sent electronically as well.
Create a System

  1. Create a message taking system. 
  2. Instead of having scraps of paper and Post-it notes all over the place, use a spiral notebook for posting messages. 
  3. Even if you do scribble a note or number somewhere else, you can transfer it directly to the notebook.
