a. Magazines: Choose magazines you would die without and put them in magazine organizers. They are sold in many creative colors and prints or they can be fabric, leather, wooden, plastic, acrylic, cardboard, etc... Recycle what you don't want.
b. Newspapers: Thank goodness newspapers are recyclable too! If you must, cut out the articles of high interest to you and scrapbook them!!!! Yes, I said SCRAPBOOK! You'll hear more about that in upcoming blogs from this organize girl!!!!
c. Receipts: Receipts can become a nuisance if not contained properly. I like to keep receipts in a small file folder that snaps closed. It is categorized as follows; Accessories, Bank, Clothing, Cosmetics, Entertainment, Food, Target, Walmart, Miscellaneous, etc... in alphabetical order, of course. This proves very helpful during tax season too!
d. Mail: Finally, mail! The mother of all paper drama! I try my best to sort mail as soon as it comes in the house. I immediately put all junk mail in the recycle bin that way its out of the way! Then I open important mail like bank statements, bills, etc...a good way to eliminate mounds of mail is by paying bills online. I find paying through my bank instead of going from website to website is helpful as well. They will do it automatically each month if you want them to and they will send you a notice when it clears. Simple as that!
Stay tuned for Part II!!!!
