Does any of this sound familiar?
Feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Despite your best efforts, the paper piles build all too easily on your kitchen bench or office desk, and the clutter makes you feel anxious every time you glance at it. You often find yourself lying awake at night stressing over the tasks you might have missed, the bill you haven’t paid, the form that's probably lost in the pile...
Dreading the task. You know you need to sort through your paper backlog - all that paperwork stacked in boxes in the home office, or within filing cabinets, or piled high in the garage. But you just can't find the motivation, the extra time or the willpower. You find yourself asking "when and how am I ever going to be able to sort through all of that?!"
Frustrated by systems that never seem to last long. You're sick of the paper clutter piles, and you're fed up with the time wasted trying to find what you need, but you don't know the best strategy to turn things around. You feel like you've tried different organising systems that seem to work for others, but nothing ever seems to stick!
Unsure of where to start. Even though you know this is an area you desperately need (and want) to be more organised in, you have no idea what to focus on first, or where to start. There are millions of systems you COULD try and loads of strategies you know COULD work, but you have no idea (or confidence in) what you SHOULD do.
If you raised your hand to any (or all!) of these statements, then it means you're in exactly the right place!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP LIVING LIKE THIS.
But nothing will ever change if you don't do something different to what you've always been doing.
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE IF YOU HAD A CLEAR,
STEP-BY-STEP SYSTEM TO FOLLOW?
Wouldn't
it be so much easier if someone could hold your hand through the whole
process and show you exactly what needs to happen, and in which order,
so you'd not only have your paperwork organised, but also have less of it?!
Introducing: Making Your Paper Work
The
complete A-Z plan for getting your paperwork organised and under
control by creating effective systems that allow you to be more
productive, and achieve a greater sense of calm and order in your home
I created Making Your Paper Work to share the EXACT systems and strategies I use in my own household to ensure that our paper clutter is kept to a minimum, and I am always on top of our paperwork tasks.
Things weren't always this way, though...
When my son was born in 2011, I became a full-time stay at home mum, something I had always longed to do.
But one thing that hadn't occurred to me was that I'd have to get used to being surrounded by all of our 'stuff' 24/7.The designated dumping ground became the kitchen bench - piled high with daily mail, catalogues, newspapers, forms, bills, phone chargers... #alltheclutter!
These messy piles really started to frustrate me, and made me feel overwhelmed and anxious every time I looked at them (which was often!).
I knew things had to change, and that I needed some new systems to better manage our household.
After many hours of researching, and months spent experimenting with and trialing different systems, I created a new, easier approach that completely restored the calm and balance to my life.
These days I have:
→ An efficient system for dealing with our daily incoming paperwork
→ Easy reference binders that hold our important household and financial information
→ Paper and digital filing systems that are straightforward to manage and maintain
→ A functional and organised command centre
→ Great strategies for storing and organising our kids’ papers and artwork
→ A paperless approach where possible!
I no longer dread having to deal with paperwork, because I know I'm not wasting time, energy and effort finding what I needed or dealing with a particular task.
I’m sharing this with you because I know that a new approach to your paperwork can dramatically change your life, and lead to a many positive personal benefits such as:
✓ improved energy levels
✓ less stress and worry
✓ a greater sense of ease and calm
✓ increased productivity
✓ a more organised and balanced approach to your day
✓ more quality time each and every day....
If you do things right the first time out!
"I used to be constantly thinking about all I had to get done. Now since doing the Making Your Paper Work course, my days are actually more enjoyable because there's no underlying stress about what tasks I need to get done. I can't believe I've developed such simple administrative processing skills that have made such an impact on my life. I wish I'd learnt this years ago!"

"I've
learnt how to manage paperwork and stuff in real time using a system
that I know works. I always used to leave things in a pile for later,
but later never arrived until I needed something and it hit crisis
point. Now I can simply take 5 minutes each day and an hour a week and
I'm free from thinking about it the rest of the week"
