This week, we're giving away one free pass to Bneato Organizing Boot Camp. All you have to do is leave us a comment telling us what your biggest challenge is when it comes to organizing paperwork (we'll post a handful with our solutions in the coming week). Please make sure you'll be able to attend (this Saturday, September 12th from 2:30-4:00 in Echo Park, CA). Don't forget to check back this Thursday, September 10th when one winner will be drawn at random.
My absolutely biggest challenge (and there are many) with paperwork is the garage full of my dad's papers, films, videos, audio tapes, artwork, books and artifacts from his 50+ year career. There are 28 boxes of papers alone. I finally began the sort... but it will take SO MUCH TIME! Meanwhile, my own meagre system goes wanting... I hope I win the bootcamp so you can help me with this mess!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest paperwork challenge is, without a doubt, keeping track of bills. They are constantly getting mixed in with junk mail, until there is an insurmountable pile of envelopes and papers on my desk.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest challenge with paper work is figuring out where to keep things that need to be dealt with before i can file them. If I file them in advance, I tend to forget about them. If I don't file them, a big pile tends to develop while waiting to be dealt with.
ReplyDeleteI like to collect piles. Piles of bills, piles of torn out magazine pages, piles of bills, piles of paper to be recycled, you get the point. I get them so close to their final filed destination, and then they just sit.
