Helloooooo out there!
Yes! There is hope for the paper clutter. We all know the feeling of disbelief at how much there is and how many categories.
Like, for instance... ..

A clear desk?
Refrigerator art
Magazines
Office supplies

Greeting cards received
A filing system?
Medical records

That list could go on and on. Better take charge. You need some friends who are in this PaperTaming thing with you, so post here for accountability and encouragement.
The days prior to and including April are a helpful time to get caught up on papertaming. For those of us in the U.S. and Canada, there's the specific reason of April tax deadlines. There are also other spring deadlines for businesses. We can save ourselves a lot of stress if we gather and organize as info comes in, and get finished with that paperwork early.
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, what to do when the children's coloring book pages look like more fun than the tax forms and you consider switching - whatever advice will help you!
