Papers, Papers, Everywhere!
/Are you ready to tackle your papers in your home or office? Follow this guide for a structured process!
Pile your papers - start by gathering files and piles of older papers first and work your way towards more current documents as you sort
Sort into categories - keep, shred, trash/recycle
Discard - immediately remove the discard papers to be shredded, tossed, or recycled
Subcategorize - separate your “keep” documents into “inbox”, “temporary keep”, and “permanent keep” categories
Order - arrange your “temporary keep” and “permanent keep” chronologically or by any other order that applies
Store vertically - store your “temporary keep” and “permanent keep” categories vertically in files or upright containers, and create an inbox that is either vertical or horizontal
