THE PAPER SOLUTION

Lisa Woodruff

What to Shred, What to Save, and How to Stop It From Taking Over Your Life

From the organizational expert called the "Marie Kondo of paper" comes a simple and accessible guide to paper management.
We are drowning in paper. We keep stacks of it on the kitchen counter, stash it in drawers, and stuff file cabinets full of documents. (In fact, one file cabinet can hold 18,000 sheets of paper. Yikes.) Despite this clear crisis of paper, there hasn't been a book devoted to managing and organizing this single most abundant item in our homes - until now.

With THE PAPER SOLUTION, Lisa Woodruff delivers a proven, step-by-step guide to decluttering the paper in our lives and sorting what's left behind into easily accessible, structured, and, most importantly, manageable files. Never again will we have to rifle through stacks and stacks for that one critical sheet of paper. The system Woodruff offers isn't based on unrealistic advice, such as "touch a piece of paper only once." Instead, it accounts for paper's unique qualities: its sentimental value, ability to accumulate astonishingly fast, the generational differences in how it's treated, and the fact that it's not going anywhere despite the popularity of minimalism movements such as Kon Mari. Woodruff's approach is doable, effective, and compassionate.

Much more than simply cleaning out your files, THE PAPER SOLUTION will help you organize your paperwork with a purpose - removing the heavy burden of a chaotic mess and giving you the space and time to enjoy what you love and discover a sense of peace.

Lisa Woodruff is an organizational expert and the founder of Organize365, which works to help busy people get their home and paper organized with functional organizing systems that work. Woodruff has also worked as a teacher and has spent two decades in direct sales business. She lives in Ohio.
