I know it’s Tuesday, a non-blogging day, but I just want to publicly share two of my paper pile messes, so that I will be inspired to take care of them. 😉
Pile one:
Pile two:
Paper piles have such a way of attracting company, don’t they? You start with a few things and before you know it, the pile has reproduced several times.
I’m going to tackle these before tomorrow…

I know exactly what you mean! My pile of paperwork is on top of my filing cabinet. So I wonder to myself, why do I put it on top of my filing cabinet instead of filing it IN the cabinet! You have made me now what to go home and tackle my paperwork on the filing cabinet. Thanks! :-)

Paper is my eternal bugaboo. Over the years and with help I've come up with some ways to make certain paper chores easier, but still. Damn stuff is eternal. My most useful tactic to date: early to bed, early to rise, get something done in the morning. Some mornings it's running, other mornings it's tackling the Eternal Pile of Paper. Both give me a positive start to the day.

That's one of the hardest parts about being a teacher, for me...PAPER EVERYWHERE!

If you consider those paper piles a problem... you have a far cleaner house than I do. :)

I don't even see the "pile" in photo #2.

Oh, how I wish my piles looked as managable as yours!

That's the key...tackling them before they get utterly out of control.
That, and recycling everything you possibly can BEFORE it gets into the pile (I try to do it as soon as the mail comes in.)
