How to Get rid of your Paper Clutter!

Paper clutter is the worst in my opinion, I don’t let it accumulate in our house because I find it to be draining.
It is not my ministry, not my area of expertise and I just would rather work in a garage.

So, I have a simple system in our home to help us reduce and eliminate paper clutter that comes through such as bills, business stuff, school papers, flyers and whatever else that comes through our mailbox.

My feature in Martha Stewart Living highlights my favorite system when it comes to paper clutter. Want to know my secret? Start at the door!
I created what I like to call my “Honey do box” (insert Carlton’s famous dance moves from the fresh prince of Belair).

A simple plastic container makes all the difference! I use this to contain all the mail that comes through in the mail with the exception of junk mail like flyers. (immediately goes into recycle bin)

I pick one day a week to sort through, categorize, scan, shred what doesn’t belong and file away what does accordingly.

This simple system helps us reduce and eliminate paper clutter from accumulating. I don’t have to stress about it everyday either because out of sight..out of mind. I have my office space clear of clutter which helps me focus on the important tasks at hand.

As always, Iam cheering for you!

With love,
