We accumulate, pile up, the pile of paperwork in the office never ends. In the middle of piles, we sometimes find some drawings or greeting cards ... It's time to put away and sort ! Marie Kondo, storage expert, has a special technique for storing her papers. And if we tried his method?

We get rid of everything

Finally, when we say everything, we want to talk about all the superfluous, all that we have accumulated over the years and which is useless. The ideal is to take them out and make a pile with all the papers you have at home. Then watch them carefully one by one to make sure you do not throw away an important document or keep unwanted flyers. If we have envelopes, pockets, boxes, we go out everything: nothing should be spared. What are we keeping? Only papers that are of current interest, or will have them later on a given period. For example, we keep all the notebooks of our toddlers that will certainly be used for registration in college or if they want to enter a competition.

We categorize

We are talking here about all the papers that are in progress, and that we need to look at: a declaration, a letter to send, invoices to pay, etc. If we want to avoid stacking the papers in a box that we will certainly forget in the bottom of a room, we use a transparent magazine door where we can classify all documents vertically, without getting too much head. In the pocket, we can classify the papers by categories: notes together, bills and receipts together.
