Organizing expert Pam Hix shows how to keep paper clutter from getting out of control.
- Sort your mail as soon as it arrives, then toss out the junk items.
- Have a specific place for the mail. That way it stays contained in one small area.
- Magazines and catalogs should be filed into holders. Once the holder is full, throw away old ones.
- Keep a subscription roster for your magazines so you know when they need to be reordered.
- When ordering from catalogs keep track of the orders in an order book.
- Sensitive mail should be shredded when you are finished.
- Use a heavy marker to cross out your personal information on magazines.
- Keep important documents and photographs in a lock box or a fire-proof safe.
- Set up a bill center with a slot for outgoing and incoming bills.
