In the past 5 days I have the pleasure of presenting Paper Management twice, once each in the suburbs of Philadelphia and Allentown. As a Professional Organizer, I find that paper management is the number one needed service, whether at home or work.

One of the biggest struggles with papers is determining what to keep and what to toss. During the seminar we covered the retention period of every type of paper in your house. If you are hanging on to papers because you’re not sure what to toss and what to save, click here  to see what the financial experts say.

I also covered how to reduce the amount of junk mail you receive by registering with the Direct Marketing Association. One woman in attendance raved about how this method decreased her junk mail and catalogs. If you would like to reduce your mail and/or catalogs go to the DMA’s website to register.

If you were in attendance at either of these two seminars, please post your favorite tips or methods that you learned. Also, post your questions or let us know what you have accomplished so far.
