Paper Tamer's Challenge - Into 2010
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2009 4:31 pm
The end (and then first) of the year is a helpful, natural time to get caught up on papertaming. There are some specific paper-deadlines near the change-of-year. But, more important, the general nature of a lot of recordkeeping is annual. So we'll get extra satisfaction from our efforts if we can complete a well-documented paper-year of 2009, then start a new year with an easy-to-access, neat-looking paper-life. Time will be saved! 
Paper, including filing/recordkeeping; billpaying/finance-planning; computer updating; social/correspondence upkeep; and just plain "stacks of indecision"
is probably our most depressing organizational problem. Since it is tied up in every aspect of our lives, getting our papertaming in order can have a huge positive effect on our well being, with more control and less frustration. 
Please post here any tips and ideas to help others, any recommendations of supplies or storage that have helped you. Feel free to ask questions about how long others keep documents, how they consolidate storage, how they keep on top of complicated tasks, ways to simplify correspondence - whatever advice will help you!
