I almost forgot that it's Work-for-me-Wednesday! I hope this tip is better late than never. January is always the month most of us get the bug to purge and organize our homes. Here's what I do to try and tame the mountain of paperwork that seems to accumulate.
I have stackable trays on my desk that are each labeled: Action, Read, File, and Misc. My husband also has a set of the same trays. As mail and paperwork comes into our home, I can put the items into the proper tray and we then know which items need immediate attention and which items don't. If we are traveling or have a free evening, we usually grab what's in our Read file and catch up on magazines or letters. I let the file tray accumulate until I can't put another item in it and then I file it all at once.
This system has worked many years for us and really helps us keep a handle on the mail and papers that find their way into our house.
And that works for me! Visit Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer for more great tips.
