If you struggle with keeping your papers organized, keeping up with the mail, or getting bills paid on time, you are not alone!
In this book, I don't tell you the “right” way to organize paper. The truth is that any way of organizing paper will work – as long as you:
- Can find what you need when you need it, and
- Are willing to take the steps to maintain it.
What I provide is a super simple way of organizing your paper using a systems approach. The ultimate downfall of most paper organizing systems is that they are more complicated than necessary, too difficult to maintain, and not based on your unique needs. Too many paper organizing tips are like using an electric power drill when a simple hammer would have been plenty good enough for the job.
The solution? Get back to basics, and use the simplest possible approach. In this guide, you will learn the neatest, simplest and most effective paper organizing strategies I know. My rule of thumb is that if it takes a long time to learn and long time to implement, it’s too complicated!
The ideas in this guide have helped me AND hundreds of clients take charge of their paper – quickly. Most importantly they are easy to maintain.
This guide won't just tell you what to do, it will empower you with organizing strategies to make it easy to stay organized and adapt as your needs change. It will help you:
- Understand why paper is intrinsically challenging to organize
- Let go of paper you don’t need
- Keep less paper to begin with
- Implement SIMPLE organizing systems for yourself that are:
• easy to set up
• easy to use
• easy to remember
• easy to put back together when you let them slide
• easy to change as your needs change – because unless you are extremely boring, your needs WILL change!
