I am attempting something very frightening, downright scary, something that will push me to my limits…I’m determined to organize the piles of paperwork that clutter my house.
I keep telling myself organization is a skill and as such can be learned. I went to the office supply store yesterday and bought bankers boxes (they make them now in purple and bright blue:cooldance:) and file folders. The problem is, I’m not very good at figuring out the best way to set things up. It’s making my head hurt just to think about it. But I will press on. I will conquer this mountain…literally, of paperwork.

As a faculty secretary, this I know about paperwork. 1st - separate your paper into stacks, 2nd discard what’s not needed. Once you separate into your stacks, it will be much easier from there. Deciding what exactly needs to go in each file is the biggee!! Good luck :thumbsup:

Great advice from Ginger. I was going to suggest general categorizing first. Then break those stacks into smaller, more specific ones.
I did this earlier this year when I got a 4-drawer filing cabinet for my office. I have certain things I keep up with. The DH has one in his office and he keeps up with the rest.

Barbara, it’s not fun a bit.
Good advice, Ginger and Marilyn. I’m steadily chpping away at it. I HATE doing this. :wallbash:
