In our podcast this week, Conquering the Clutter, we discuss a few different tricks and tips to control your clutter! If you were to look around your house right now, I am willing to bet a lot of the clutter you see is in the form of paper… Believe me you are not alone. Even as a Professional Organizer, there are times where my desk looks like a paper wind storm went through it! It happens!
Here is a quick tip to prevent the paper pile up….
Do everything you can not to place more than two pieces of paper on top of each other… I said it’s a quick tip, I never said it would be easy!
A small stack of paper can easily turn into a large mountain of paper, if you are not aware that you keep stacking and stacking… I go back to the organizing rule of “touch it once”.. it’s hard, but the more you are aware of it the better you will get at it.
Ask yourself to really identify what the paper is, can it be filed, does it need some kind of action? What better system can you build to prevent these pile ups? (If you don’t know, call a Professional! This is what we do!)
Think before you pile!
Happy Organizing!
