The Paper Solution

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 (just one file cabinet can hold 18,000 sheets of paper - yikes). Despite this clear crisis of paper, there hasnt been a book devoted to managing and organizing this single most abundant item in our homes - until now.

In The Paper Solution, Lisa Woodruff delivers a proven, step-by-step guide to decluttering the paper in our lives and sorting whats left behind into easily accessible, structured, and, most importantly, manageable files.

The system Woodruff offers isnt based on unrealistic advice, such as touch a piece of paper only once. Instead, it accounts for papers unique qualities: its sentimental value, ability to accumulate astonishingly fast, the generational differences in how its treated, and the fact that its not going anywhere despite the popularity of minimalism movements such as Kon Mari. Woodruffs 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.
