Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Finding an effective but spacing saving way to keep our paperwork organised has been a challenge for me.

At the moment I’m using A4 sized binders that sit on our bookshelves but lately I’m finding that it’s not working.

I was looking through the junk mail that was in our mailbox today. I saw office furniture in the same colour as our bookshelves. So I think I’m going to ditch the binders and buy a 2 drawer filing cabinet to keep all the paper that seems to accumulate but cannot get rid of!

How do you keep your paperwork in control?

I too need to find a system that works for all the papers. I have the family management system where we each have tray to store papers. I might buy filefolders to hold all the misc papers to make it look neater. I was thinking of organizing or should I say I already started cleaning out an old file cabinet and bought filefolder system to put in. I havent put it all together maybe over christmas.

I can not resist responding to this post! Here's an article I wrote on how to set up a great system to deal with the everyday paper:

Paper is one of things that takes over so quickly! This is the #1 or #2 area most moms tell me they struggle with. Before you buy any organizing product or furniture, I would suggest you start with sorting it all and taking out (shred, recycle) what you don't need.

I could go on and on (sorry- I can't help myself). I'm putting together Paper Organization for Busy Moms ~ A virtual workshop~ right now, set for January 31st. It's on my brain.

I'm embarrased to say that I/we had 10 years worth of filing just chucked in a box. I really wonder if we need it and also wonder would it be missed if I just chucked it all in the recycle bin. It really is one of the jobs that I cannot tackle!! Even when I do try to tackle it, it just overwhelmes me and I put (chuck) it back in the box.
