Organizing paper clutter is a challenge for most of us. Where are YOUR paper piles? On the kitchen counter top? On the dining room table? Stacked by the side of your bed?

For this article I will focus on organizing long term reference papers only. Papers where actions have been completed and they are being saved for future reference. These papers should reside in your home file-cabinet in a simplified system that allows for easy retrieval.

I worked recently with a client located in Orem, Utah. Miss P (we keep our clients identity confidential) was very frustrated. She called me to discuss her piled papers. She knew she needed help because she had tried many times to organize her paper clutter on her own and failed.

Was she ever happy after a 3 hour session with me! We put a file-cabinet system in place for her reference papers. It allowed her to process and find papers quickly and easily. She was thrilled with the results of our time together.

The process for organizing paper clutter can be handled very simply with my 3 step ACT formula:

What to do with the “stuff” you no longer want or need

There comes a time when we realize the things that were useful to us in the past are no longer necessary. To determine your current item needs, ask yourself a few questions:

1. Is this something I use in my life today? NO…Donate it.
2. Is this something I love?   NO…Donate it.
3. Where is this going to go?  Don’t know…Find a GOOD spot in your home or donate it.

When in doubt … toss it! AND if you find yourself keeping too many things, you may need a professional to help you fully understand the 5 steps to living clutter-free.
