73 | This Book Could Solve Our Paper Problems

Avalanche. Tsunami. Mountains. Oceans. Would these words accurately describe the amount of paper that we process throughout our lifetime? Let me share a statistic used by the book I am about to introduce to you: "The average American household processes a paper stack as high as a two-story house every year." Imagine that! So maybe it's not outlandish to describe our paper as an avalanche, tsunami, etc. Even with massive technological advances and a push for a paperless (or at least less paper) society, paper is here to stay, and it only continues to overwhelm us and our homes. What's the solution? I am glad you asked. Listen in as I talk with you more about paper organization and THE book that could solve our paper problems, written by Lisa Woodruff called Paper Solution: What To Shred, What To Save, and How To Stop It from Taking Over Your Life. Also, check out Episode 68 where I talked with my friend Emily Lowry about how to get your paper organized. She is certified to teach Lisa's Sunday Basket system (mentioned in the book).

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you own, you are not alone. Like myself, many people over the age of 45 face the challenge of what to do with the amount of possessions we have been accumulating. Then thoughts about someday moving into a smaller place, simplifying our lifestyle, or just creating more space and order in our environment dance through our minds. But we end up procrastinating on decisions we know we need to make. Yes, you are not alone! Grace Rehman wants to come alongside you to provide you with bite-sized tips, emotional and mental support, encouragement, and laughter in between the messy middle as you declutter, downsize, and move. Even if you’re not thinking about relocating just yet, these episodes will help you gain momentum to get started with deciding what to keep and what to let go. Decluttering and downsizing (she would rather say ”rightsizing”) can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. As your Home Organizer next door, Grace can help you get started and make the process easier and more enjoyable.
