We talked in another article here on the site about creating a daily routine for organizing paperwork in your home.Īs explained in more detail in that daily routine article, to take control over paper and keep it from reaccumulating in the future in your home you've got to deal with the paper that comes into your home daily, and do one of four things with each piece of paper that comes in. Having Both A Daily & Weekly Paperwork Routine Is Essential To Long-Term Paper Organization So to fix this issue we have to deal with the incoming paper, and the tasks and details it represents, consistently so that we stay in control and don't let it pile up to overwhelming levels. Paper represents the information on that page, some of which you've got to deal with, and take action on, or might need to remember for later, or the list can go on and on. BUT it is what paper represents that ties us up in knots. When you think about it though, it really isn't that paper, itself, is scary. The dread comes from knowing you need to deal with it, but not necessarily knowing exactly how to do that, and feeling overwhelmed by what feels like an enormous task. The resignation I think comes from knowing you've got to tame the paper monster and get control over it, because what happens when you don't have control of all the paper flooding into your home is so negative, including financially, with accumulated physical clutter in your home, and with increased stress levels from worrying that something is falling through the cracks. There is always a huge collective sigh of both resignation and simultaneous dread amongst participants of the Declutter 365 missions when I announce that we will be taking on the task of dealing with paper clutter.
