Organizing your paper

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!

About the Author

Ariane Benefit, M.S.Ed.

Ariane Benefit, Home, Family & Office Organizer, Consultant, Coach, Facilitor specializing in Compassionate Clutter Clearing, Lifestyle Change, Family Conflict Resolution, Changing Habit, Chronic Disorganization Ariane started her business career in 1981 with a Masters' Degree in Education specializing in Organizational Training. With 12 years experience as a change agent, coach and learning and performance improvement consultant to the Fortune 500, she launched her own performance consulting firm called Bridges to Performance in 1993. She has happily run her consulting practice from her home office ever since!

In 2005, she began working with individuals and small businesses to get long lasting RESULTS. She has helped hundreds of clients release the physical and emotional clutter that holds them back from getting organized and living their best lives.

 

Why I Wrote This Book

My mission is to be of service and help people change so they can have a better life. My vision is ultimately to create and distribute a wide range of affordable, high quality performance support resources for people who can't afford to work with a personal organizing coach.

My goal in writing this book is to inspire and empower you to simplify, clear clutter, and get organized enough to be able to focus on what's truly important to you.

 

I Haven't Always Lived Clutter-Free and Organized, Either!

I grew up in an extremely cluttered & disorganized home. That's what started me on my personal journey to conquer my packrat tendencies starting when I was in college. In 1989, having relocated several times, I found myself saddled with over $25,000 credit card debt. I was organized at work, but at home, I was facing possible bankruptcy. I also still had just about every piece of clothing, every book and magazine, every record album I ever owned! I even had every bill I'd ever received. I learned the hard way what the cost of clutter really is when I was living in Illinois and wanted to move back to NJ to be near family and start my own business. That's when my personal battle with clutter began in earnest. I had to release most of what I owned just so I could afford to move.

Three years after moving back home, I had finally released most of my clutter, organized myself, paid off my debt, and was finally able to realize my dream and start my own consulting firm!

I am living proof of how getting organized, simplifying, buying less, and letting go of things frees you to take charge of your life and achieve your dreams.

I still have the tendency to let things go and get cluttered when I get really busy. The difference is that now, it never even gets close to how bad it was AND I have systems for getting things back under control quickly and easily.

Working with people to take charge of their lives by decluttering, simplifying, and getting organized is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. I can't imagine a better life than one spent sharing the lessons I've learned and helping others succeed in spite of what seems like overwhelming obstacles!
