Update your workspace. Sorting through stacks of paper has got to be one of the least appealing organizing tasks, but as with a visit to the dentist, you know you'll feel better when it's done.
Set aside a whole morning to tackle this area, and plan a fun activity as a reward for afterward. Consider signing up for online statements and digital subscription services to cut down on future paper overload.
Style note: Choose one style and color of storage and file boxes for an orderly look.
