When I got the mail I would get out of my car go straight past two paper bags in the garage placed strategically next to the door; one labeledmagazines/catalogues and the other labeled newspapers. I would stop and deposit the catalogues, papers that I’m not reading, and junk mail. From there I would go right into the office and open the mail and file the remainder of paper appropriately. That worked well until I realized that I now had a second of source of paper to file, my emails. I’m never sure what to save and what to toss. I also want to know how I can set up a system that doesn’t take long and is routine. Most importantly, I want to find it when I am looking for it. So often I file and comment to myself about my brilliant job I did, until my husband asks me to produce a document. At that point I look at him like a deer in headlights.“Don’t worry honey I put it someplace very safe.” As part of my series “The Perfect Imperfectionist” where imperfect is my new definition of perfection, I am reaching out to professional organizer Kristin Mastromarino to help me put things in order. If there is anyone else out there that has a great system in place, I would love to hear from you. |
