"I can't remember anything any more," said one of my clients. "None of us can," I told her. And it's true. And that's why lists are so helpful.
Here are some of lists I personally find useful; I'm sure you'll have others of your own.
To-Do Lists
Someday/Maybe List (things I might want to do - but not now)
Shopping Lists - so I can remember what I need, and avoid the clutter caused by buying things I don't need

If you're ever going to keep up with all the paper in your life, you have to decide on a system and keep tweaking it.
Read more about how to deal with mail clutter and decide if my system will work for you as is, or if you need to make slight adjustments. I'm cool with that!
One of the biggest mistakes people make with organising paper is jumping to the filing instead of eliminating the source.

Every week when I meet a new client we start the session off with a house tour. Even if their initial priority is the home office, we'll walk through the entire home.
This past week I met with a new client, Michelle. During her Phone Intake Consultation, we determined that setting up an efficient home office where she could store and access papers, schedules, mail, bills and files was her number one priority.
With that in mind we set out on a house tour. During this step we open all the closets, drawers and cabinets. There are 2 main benefits to the tour:

For the last couple of weeks, I have been under a LOT of stress. Sometimes my coping mechanism consists of spending all my free time in bed with the television and a generous helping of something calorie laden and delicious.
But I found a nice wallet/planner while shopping a few days ago and found that it was just as satisfying, if not more (and a lot less fattening!) to transfer all my addresses and phone numbers from the old one to the new one.

I've always said that if you make something too complicated, it just won't work, no matter how well-intentioned you are. That's why it's so important to make your systems easy, especially if you live with other people and you want them to live by your organising "rules".
That's true for designing a good flow for laundry in the home and also for recycling paper in the office.

For the longest time, I had the bad habit of creating usernames and passwords for different websites that I visited thinking, “This password is easy enough; I’ll remember it.” And for the first two or three, I did.
Then I started jotting them down quickly while I was creating them, only to misplace or accidentally toss them later.

Don't get fooled by the Organising Myth that you have to have a block of 2 - 3 hours to get anything significant done.
Not true!
Here are some tasks that will literally take you only ten minutes.
