The Paper Solution

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

By: Lisa Woodruff

Narrated by: Lisa Woodruff

From the "Marie Kondo of paper" comes a simple and accessible guide to paper management.

Americans are drowning in paper. We keep stacks of it on the kitchen counter, stash it in drawers, and store file cabinets full of documents that we never even look at. Studies show that fully 85 percent of the paper in our lives can be tossed--but which 85 percent? And how do we organize and manage the 15 percent that remains?

With The Paper Solution, founder of Organize365 Lisa Woodruff delivers a proven, step-by-step guide for what to shred, what to save, and how to sort what's left behind. With her method, you'll learn:

• What documents you must absolutely hold on to
• Which papers you can dispose of today
• How to ditch your bulky filing cabinets and make your vital documents accessible and portable

And at the heart of it all is the Sunday Basket: a box that sits on your counter and corrals those stray bills, forms, coupons, and scraps into an easy-to-use paper-management system. The Sunday Basket will become your new weekly habit--one that leads to less paper, less stress, and more time to spend on the things (and people) that matter most.

*Includes a PDF containing an appendix of worksheets from the book.

Great book for everyone!

Great book! I had to get a hardcopy to use as reference. the author breaks down organizing paper into easy steps anyone can follow. i ended up getting all books and Organize 365 products.

No longer overwhelmed by paper

All the many books on paper management at home left me with only overstuffed filing cabinets. On the other hand, this expert's refreshing system and process has reduced my paper mess thru her light, functional solution. Now our filing cabinet is gone along with its excess paper. What remains is a simple weekly paperwork session that identifies what must be addressed, what can wait, and releases the rest.
Highly recommended!

Should have PDF more

There was PDF for somethings HOWEVER the crucial PDF’s were left out. I am listening but way past the colored slash folders chapter. Now I am sitting with my Sunday basket (biggest part of the book) and I don’t know what color represents what? NO PDF for that part. Now I have to go back and try and listen to the part with those. I have no idea what chapter. If the author reads this please ADD those and anything else relevant like the other colors as well. Other than this I liked the book and am trying to apply it to my life.

U must listen!

I will be listening a second time!

motivational, guilt-free plan to organize multiple generations of paperwork.

Wonderful as Usual for Lisa Woodruff!

I have really enjoyed Lisa Woodruff's Paper Solution book! I have enjoyed all her books and podcasts!
