Organizing Paper at the Home or at the Office is nowadays, one of the most important challenges in our modern society. Controlling the incoming paper and the paper clutter in general is a very important thing, because if you are not effective you will find yourself in a “sea” of paper, because paper enters in our houses and offices each and every day. Dealing with this kind of challenge can be a very tricky thing, sometimes.

What actually the term of “Paper” means?

In most of the cases it really means all the bills and all the statement mails, all the cards that you have received over time, things that you have printed when you were browsing the Internet, and also the standard things, such as newspapers, magazines, and many, many more…

So, the actual question that you will put now, and you will want some very good and efficient answers, is “What to do with all this <Paper>”?

First of all you must designate a workspace (a table in the best case), where you will do all this work, where you will struggle with all the paper maters. Designate something that will remain in the near by future a permanent working space (station), for managing all these incoming, and also existing, papers.

Secondly, you must find at a furniture store the right “tools” for dealing with these issues. Most of these “tools” will include a work surface (a desk or a table), a very comfortable chair or something as comfortable as this (this is your choice), a file cabinet for storing the important and permanent papers.

Also, if you want to easily get rid of your unnecessary papers, you will need to buy and have a very good paper shredder, and also a paper basket for temporarily storing the paper after it was in the basket. Buying a simple desktop organizer will do the trick with your pens, pencils, tape, scissors and also stamps and envelopes.

There are many methods and many furniture parts that can help you to organize your desk, office, house, and also you work, and also to control all your next and future profits.

Thirdly, don’t forget to set up some systems in your house, such as 3 in 1, universal thing that can be in the same time (if it is used wisely), a file cabinet, a paper shredder and also a trash can. The file cabinet will be for the permanent and also long term paperwork.

The paper shredder will be used when you will need to discard some important paperwork that contains some important personal information. And, last but not least, the trash can, will be used when you will want to discard the items, and you will don’t mind if the information from that papers will be or not seen by some other persons.

It is psychologically far more uplifting to start work each morning with a clear desk than to come in to mounds of paperwork, which make you feel defeated before you even start. So make it part of your routine to clear your desk before you leave your office.  

Organizing financial record is the most important job because financial records are considered to be the back bone of any company you need them to graph your progress rate and for the clearing of funds.   

An organized collection of date-labeled file and folders is known as tickler file, a tickler file helps doing time sensitive work to be filed before deadline. Tickler file can contain documents like pending bills, invoices, meeting information, reminders, to-do-list, or other documents that can be useful in reminding any future action.

To-do-list should always be a part of your tickler file it’s very difficult for a businessman to remember all tasks he has to do so it’s better to have to-do-list then paying huge cost of forgetting anything important.

Using all these methods and all these “tools” you will for sure succeed in organizing all your important or not so useful papers.
