Organizing Paper @ Home: What to Toss and How to Find the Rest

by Barbara Hemphill, Jennifer Suarez

Why can't I ever find the papers I need? Did I save that on the computer or is it in my file? Sound familiar? Despite all our technology, paper is still the No. 1 challenge in households nationwide. It covers desks and the kitchen counter, gets stuffed into file drawers and now, saved in electronic form on the computer. Instead of solving our problems, computers and smartphones have created another realm of disorganization, with files and systems of their own to mix in with the paper. From the home office to the kitchen counter, Barbara Hemphill offers a step-by-step solution to purging, sorting and taming that paper (And electronic) tiger. Her practical solutions will help you manage every piece of paper or e-mail that comes into your house. She'll teach you how to make decisions about what to keep and where to keep and most importantly, how to find What you need When you need it!
