Trend Enterprises File N Save System Bulletin Board System Storage Box– for large poster sized paper Last year I spent the month of January organizing my scrapbook paper, and after a year of using my “system,” I am happy to say I love it! Today I thought I’d share what has worked well for me in a post all about how to organize your scrapbook paper!

I created the tabs for each file folder using my Cricut Explore. The tab design I used is available in Cricut Design Space. You could also cut these by hand or cut a rectangle of each paper and insert it into the clear tabs the file folders come with. Paper is here to stay, but not all paper is created equally. Understanding the difference between active paper and reference paper will make management easier. Just like laundry, dishes, and cleaning house, your active paper pile needs to be managed each week. A weekly paper-management system (and culling your files into a few select binders) will reduce your paper anxiety and lighten your load.

This didn’t work since I didn’t have the space for a huge shelving system devoted to just paper. This system is a bit more scattered than I think I’d ideally like, but it has worked really well and everything has it’s own place! Lisa Woodruff is the founder and CEO of Organize 365.

Almost all of your reference paper can be shredded or recycled. In the reference paper category, you can get close to paperless if you want to. Then you can digitize what is left or make binders. When I realized I would never be paperless, I changed my goal from eliminating all paper to having less of it. How the Paper Pile Starts

Reference paper is the easiest to process because the action that needed to be taken has already been done. You bought the toaster, this is the manual. You had the car’s oil changed, this is the receipt. You took your dog to the vet, this is the bill.
