I need to sort a room. Ideas

rosh12

I am so disorganised and untidy- especially in our joint study, but once, I had to do a paper management course at work, and I learnt to go through my piles (!) and be brutally honest about filing (but only for as long as necessary), recycling (or shredding / composting) and "acting" (e.g. if I need to do something- pay a bill etc). It sounds a bit anal but it definitely is worth going through the piles every week or so! And quite therapeutic + satisfying when you find stuff / manage to get things "done" rather than have them sitting hidden somewhere!

OH has a secondhand 2 drawer filing cabinet which doesn't take up huge amounts of space and is blue so doesn't look too officey- and that's really good for all the bank statements, and other important stuff.

FINALLY- https://www.realsimple.com has loads of ideas for getting organised all around the house, but I'm certain it includes paperwork too. It's another addictive site though so watch out...

I definitely think nice storage ideas helps too though- although I always find my good intentions never last. GOOD LUCK!!!
