Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Have you noticed that each Thursday, you have a Home Blessing that includes decluttering paper and magazines? Since we homeschool, I know papers are a big part of our lives. It’s like the dust bunnies that live under the sofa or bed. Papers are in abundance and seem to multiply overnight.
I have a few tricks that I have developed to help me over the years with paper clutter.
Sort the mail when it comes into the house.
- File bills
- File important papers
- Shred papers with your name and address
- Toss junk mail that does not have your address
Review school work daily.
- Toss the school papers you don’t need
- File the papers and tests that you need to keep
- Let go of school materials you don’t use
- Keep one box of art keepsakes and share the rest with loved ones
What are other sources of paper in your home that you need to work on?
Have a wonderful day!
