Hello, I found this site by happy accident. Glad that I did. Unemployed and at home at the moment. Trying to keep busy doing everything else but organizing this mess.  Help!!! I am trying to keep track of what seems like a ton of paper. Also, not sure how long to keep some papers which may be important. There's the incoming and ougoing mail, coupons, appointments on 2 calendars that have to coincide(one for home and the other in my purse), telephone messages, receipts and recipes that I have clipped. Please help!! It is taking over my small work area. I have some piled on my printer and have to move it everytime I have to print/copy/fax something. Norma

Hi Norma,
You're not alone. So many people have the same challenges.
I like to sort paper, coupons, etc. as follows:
1. Toss
2. Shred
3. File
4. To Do
5. To Use
Follow up as necessary!
