Here’s the one we have – I looked it up and I bought it in 2013 and it’s still going strong. Paper falls under the clutter umbrella – if you follow my routine, make sure you’re including paper in your daily clutter routine.
Processing mail, school papers, and any other paper that makes its way into your home right away is the best way to keep it from becoming overwhelming. The #1 secret to keeping paper clutter to a minimum is to deal with it daily. PAPER CLUTTER IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO ELIMINATE PAPER CLUTTER, START HERE: You can see how I organize all of our paper and my office here. If you have a filing cabinet in your office take the time to sort through the file folders and papers or at least your paper pile. Don’t spend too much time on this but definitely decide what you can donate or gift to a friend.
BEST WAY TO DECLUTTER PAPERWORK CODE
Sort through books quickly and organize them in a way that makes sense – you can color code them or arrange them by author or genre.
You can use drawer organizers but I recommend using containers you have or even repurposing small boxes or shoe boxes until you have decided what system works best for your office supplies. Use containers you have for sorting like items with items. This is also a great time to organize your electronics and cords and make sure everything is set-up in a way that works for you. Sort through cords, make sure everything has a match. As you are doing this portion of decluttering, challenge yourself (and your kids if you have them) to keep what you/they use and love. Work in this order and assess what you have – clear what you can and declutter ruthlessly to find your way to a decluttered home.
I used the labels from The Clutter Handbook and attached them with a clothespin to these laundry baskets from IKEA. RELOCATE – Still love it, use it or need it, but it doesn’t belong here Ready?

BEST WAY TO DECLUTTER PAPERWORK FREE
Throughout the month of January we will be following this free printable – Clean Mama’s Declutter Order (also found in The Clutter Handbook) as our guide. This helps me break it down into manageable tasks and steps and so I don’t get overwhelmed. I find it really helpful to block out when I’m going to do specific tasks. I use my Homekeeping Planner but you can write it on the checklist, in a calendar, on a scratch sheet fo paper. Before you do anything this week, it might be helpful for you to figure out when you’re going to do the tasks. If you haven’t printed out the Declutter Order Checklist, make sure you keep reading and do that. Don’t worry if you aren’t at this point yet – it isn’t a race – do your best and finish strong, even if it takes you a little longer. It’s the last week of The Clutter Challenge and we’re going to finish up with Paper Clutter, Office Clutter, and Digital Clutter.
