Paper Clutter Organization

In our house, incoming papers are hands down our biggest clutter culprit. A small pile on the counter can morph into a disorderly beast in no time. To keep the beast in check, we have a system for our paper clutter organization. We make sure to strategically locate paper containers throughout the house. A basket in the mudroom catches the kids papers when they come home from school. A file in the kitchen keeps bills that need immediate attention. And a file attached to the office desk holds papers for longer term storage. Everything in its place prevents those papers from getting out of hand.
