Never let paper piles spread to all parts of the house. You can follow this rule by:
- Shred or recycle junk mail before bringing it in the house.
- Separate papers into three categories: currently in use, keep indefinitely and need for a limited amount of time.
- Find an organizer that works for you and organize the papers that fit in these three categories.
- Statements? In this electronic age why keep them? Once you have paid a bill, matched receipts and confirmed the statement is correct – discard. Banks have records of statements so balance accounts online and WOW! That paper is gone!
- Household warranties? Gather them, purchase a 3-ring binder and using clear pocket sleeves, fill the binder with the warranties. Keep in garage or storage closet.
