Before I was up to date with paperwork, my morning routine consisted as follows... first time I entered kitchen with laundry basket in hand, to start washing machine, once the wash had started, I turned to paper hold-all, and SORTED through an inch of paperwork a day into respective piles (including throw away there and then).... 6 inches paperwork in one week.... 2ft in four weeks! Dealt with once a week in one fell swoop! For all that computers were supposed to create a paperless society, as was promoted back in the day, it never ceases to amaze how much comes through the letterbox! Now attended to immediately....makes a huge difference!
I appreciate that you recognize that some people find dealing with paperwork & bills unpleasant - I’m one of those people. Thank you for the tips to make this a little less painful.
Your "Perhaps" bin really really helps because up until now, I have put all that should go into a 'perhaps' bin into my "To Do" bin, with everything that's important for action. It would be so big and overwhelming bcs I couldn't recall what all was in it. 😅 So thx so much for that great tip! God bless from Montana, USA
Great idea to have a "perhaps" category, I have to set this up. I've stopped the paper clutter coming in (whew!) a couple of years ago, but I still have some boxes to deal with in the attic: college notes, photocopies from classes I've given... I think I will get these down out of the attic and tackle them in one lot this week, it's been on my to-do forever!! It can probably go in the bin but I will have a flick through just to make sure. I am making great strides this month, finally getting my zone work and daily focus (the WHB still daunts me though!) and the house looks and feels so much more spacious and clear, thanks for all the support!! Niamh in Dublin
I so appreciate your approach to all of this. I have tackled old boxes of paperwork for the most part, but admit paperwork is my least favorite chore. I like this approach of not doing it all at once, but starting new habits to deal with, and manage paper clutter before it becomes a HUGE chore! Thanks for all your words of wisdom, and your calming support and encouragement! I can do this, I can do this, I can do this!
Hi Diane, I am very grateful to you for your menu planning tips!!! Yesterday, I was at the doctor until 6:30 PM (it was a 445 pm appointment). I wasn’t worried about making dinner, because of your tip to look at your schedule before planning what kind of meal to have. I had planned for an easy meal that night! Just something I could throw together easily - rice and lentils. So I wasn’t stressed out at the doctors office, or when I got home. Having a menu, it’s really helpful to both my husband and I.He also checked the menu to see what to have. And I love only one grocery pick up day a week during pandemic. I check my pantry to see if I have the spices and ingredients first Thank you, thank you!
You always look so put-together. Your clothing style is SO MUCH like what we wore in the 1960's!!! Thank you for every episode! I've watched for 4 yrs now, and you are my guide. You make daily life so meaningful with your explanations and sharing your rhythm/schedule for each day of the week. Thank you for real-time Zone cleaning with us.Thank you so much.
Thanks for adding in the Hygge, Diane. After watching the video I lit some candles, did a quick clean up, and then set out to make new labels for my filing system for 2021. All done now!
Papers are the worst for me. I have thrown away important things many times so now my DH organizes important papers. Bills and things like that that need to be dealt with weekly, i handle and i just have a basket near my computer. I don’t keep those papers once i am done with them. Most stuff is done online so don’t have to deal with papers. I make sure the basket is tiny so it forces me to deal with the bills as them come and not let it go past their time. I like to do my paperwork on Plan and Play day to. I do the bills and paperwork first and then i plan something fun to look forward to forward the end of the week or weekend .Your teachings helped me so much with this area of disorder 🥰
Thank-you. It is so helpful to find a system that is realistic, that I can jump into from where I am now in my clutter. And no shopping for fancy office supplies! I appreciate your encouragement. 🌷
I was a teacher and although I know everything is digital these days it feels like a "waste" to get rid of all the photocopied notes I MAY need in the future... !! Lol!! I'm going to be ruthless though, they are taking up valuable space!
You inspire me! I would so like to one day visit Denmark, Copenhagen in particular. That hadn’t been on my radar until I started watching your videos. I hope your country knows what a treasure they have in you!
I appreciate your idea of reversing the sense of dread as you face the pile of paperwork, by chipping away at it while listening to a podcast or something pleasant. I used to be terribly distracted by background noise, such as a movie or video, and found myself frustrated for not being able to stay on task. I will definitely try your idea of sitting with a nice cup of coffee, a pleasant scent, and soothing music while I take ten minutes to sort.
We gleaned out some memorabilia to donate to the local museum military section. Alan said he had been putting it off for forty years! I am a paper pro! A good system is in place for the household. Alan still has bins of book drafts and lesson plans, so I am doomed in this area! I am working with him with the last of the his photo organization and old letters. TY. So good to see you! It was warm enough to get paw prints off the porch doors but more snow is coming in. Made a yummy tiny rib roast from the freezer with veg Leftovers tomorrow night. TY again for your support!
Yeay, I’ve been working on this problem this month. I hate dealing with papers. But you have some ideas to make the process more pleasurable. Generally it’s stressful for me, so I avoid it. I’m so glad you’re tackling this problem this month, it’s more motivation. Thanks!
Hygge hygge !! Yes sir-ee! H- Y- G! - G-G-E-! Rah rah RAH! ❤️❤️ Crowning myself the Declutter Queen for this year! Paper yes! Paper paper yes sir - ee ! Making it disappear ! Thanks Diane! Great encouragement!

This was so helpful, Diane. I never learned how to properly manage paperwork - so as an adult I'm struggling with this topic... in private as well as professionally. I'm a teacher dealing with a lot of paperwork!
Step by step with everything is the answer to everything ...that is what I am learning from you Diane. I am now sorting things out finally! ...because 10 minutes at a time in my day for paperwork & other tasks makes it achievable & even enjoyable🙃.....also I am enjoying the candles which are calming & lovely ...even my husband is enjoying the lovely atmosphere they create. One thing that gives me hope ....I have always had a shiny sink! Ha 😉Thank you xx
I love this idea!! I'm on top of the mountain I used to have now, but wish I had of thought of this stuff?! I can implement this fast speedy sorting system from now on though and it'll keep me organised like I am! 🥳💪🙌
Thank you Diane, the idea with the "perhaps" file is really great. I often have papers that invitations to exhibitions, ideas for weekend trips and so on that I am not sure what to do with. Now I know.
Have been watching a lot of videos concerning paper clutter. You’re system is a bit broader than mine, but everyone has to do what works best for them. A basic system is definitely better than just piles all over the house! Thank you for your advice!
Once again, you get right down to a plan which is easily accomplished. We have cut out subscriptions, but still receive alot of junk mail in the form of ads, grocery brochures, etc. I open the mail next to the paper recycling and shredder. I like the perhaps category.
Thanks Diane. Hubby gave me a tray as a gift a few years ago, I use it as my inbox. Most weeks I file and recycle. Perhaps remains in the tray. Paper is an area that I have successfully kept under control for a long time due to my consistency in dealing with it👏😄
Two bins worth left the garage yesterday ( I kept the bins for moving later). Trash night so I sift through the house for tosses/recycling. Paper management is good. We have been going through hubs photos( yes, again!) I have envelopes to mail out to descendants and they can decide.
Great categories and ways to execute! I came up with a catch phrase while working in corporate America while managing multiple teams in different states and across different functions- which turned into a tangible way for staff to manage work and meet deliverables. GPE=Group, Prioritize and Execute 😂
Thank you Diane for the idea with the 4 categories . I try this, because this week I will declutter my papers. Because I have a good reason for decluttering.We move in our house hopefully in early summer. After the whole renovation is done. And less clutter more space, time, freedom and joy. 😘
We loaded up the Subaru with the vintage items from the garage and the recycling and headed into town. We sold all the vintage items in the car to a wholesaler and then dropped off the metal and cardboard. Trash pickup was this morning, so we are pretty well cleaned out. We have some items to drop off on a friends porch later this week. I pushed myself to order on sale and with a coupon , a good supply of tee shirts for the spring and summer. Gave myself a mini mani this afternoon and am taking a break until I have to transport someone this evening. The household paper system is pretty good here. Junk mail does not cross the threshold. Most bills are online, as well as correspondence, so very little gets through the filter system! I do write and send cards but rarely receive any written responses, sadly. We do receive occasional packages but is a rarity.
I was a FlyBaby when I first left home, but I feel like I'm in a new season of life and ready to add in more tips for cleaning! This is so far very helpful for me (just need to stick it in a routine so things get actioned-upon once weekly). I'm also doing the Baby Steps videos with you (I'm on Day 8...but some days took me a couple days, heehee). I also watched a zone video of yours...I loved the idea of doing 10-15 minutes of one zone per week, so I'm trying that out, it's fun with my timer!
I was having some new doors fitted and got the joiner to make me a simple office area by building a desk to fit an awkward space. I got a bargain in a lovely office chair which has a built in massage feature and was really looking forward to using the space. That was over 2 years ago and I haven't used it once. I don't know why?! 🤔😏
Well, well....hi Diane..I'm back. After a few years of decluttering and getting rid of tons of junk...my routines has suffered. nevermind. I'm back, started day 1 of the baby steps and jumping in right where I am. Greetings from South Lanarkshire.
Hi Diane, from sunny AZ(and so warm this last week, again setting records) Love the flowers behind you, just beautiful...did they come from your garden? Love all the great ideas and a perhaps file.. genius!! Thanks for giving us another great video...
I have been watching ur video for the past 7 days, they are very helpful . I have been decluttering big pile of papers since dec. So which categories is scan items? I found I have been changing the way how I separate them fir me to keep up with the banks stuff. Really afraid to throw them away. Too tedious to file small little papers. Any Tips on too micro- filing?
perhaps is my "pending" box which i have both at work and at home :) i have the same kallax drawers u have in the background - one with my pens and utensils and the other where the (very few) papers go until i go thru them (takes 2 min LOL) .. going minimalist was the best thing i ever chose for myself
I am subscribed and have the notifications bell set to "ALL" and didn't receive any notifications for this new video. As luck would have it, it showed up in my feed!
What do you do with paper “needing action“ where that action is for example reading it and deciding if you want to keep it! Like a magazine with a couple of interesting articles in it or recipes, or movies at a Local place that you might want to go to... ? I have talked English over the years and also worked a little with people learning German, and I’ve started getting better at tossing things that might be “good for a class“! Miscellaneous interesting reading texts etc. ... it sometimes has to do with what our current focus in life is, and requiring decision on that first… Another question I have is about receipts from when I go shopping. If I didn’t buy anything that I might want to return, what should I do with them? That’s a question of financial habits I suppose overlapping with paper habits. I don’t particularly have a bookkeeping system at the moment…
Thank you so much for laying paper clutter out step by step! I have heard quite a bit about the fly lady method and I am intrigued! Also, I adore your earrings! What brand are they?
This is an area I really want to get control of in a system that works for me. As a T2 I have piles of papers because I just hate taking the time to file them. I keep them ‘just in case’ and other than home, birth, tax records I rarely need any of it. I feel like filing just delays the inevitable step of purging them later.
Would you recommend doing the paper in little increments everyday after our routines are finished and we’ve done our zone? My paper is in my basement but this week I’m in my master bedroom.
This video was very helpful thank you, but I had a thought about your mini diffuser. Here in New York in the winter The air is very dry and I have to run some thing with water in it to keep my nose from bleeding. Isn’t it dry where you live? I think of this every time you mention your mini defuser because I couldn’t live in winter without mine that runs with water
I just wondered did you do the giveaway? I haven't had time to search everywhere I did look but can't find it. My phone is not great for writing at the moment

Dealing with papers before it comes into the house has been the #1 tip for me to get a handle on my paper clutter.
Yay, Portia!
Me too! It's so simple but it never occured to me before Flylady!
I love the way you break everything into baby steps, making tasks more manageable.
Hi Michelle! Yes, we are just taking it one babystep at a time! 🖐😀
I am going to work on the paper clutter. When i was a teenager, people used this phrase: "There"s nothing to it, but to do it." Thanks, Diane.
Thank you for all of your advice, and gentle counsel.

Very useful, thank you. I especially take away bringing some hygge into a stressful situation.

I love the clothes you wear. You really dress your truth. Lovely colors.
Thanks So Much!!
I have been watching ur video for the past 7 days, they are very helpful . I have been decluttering big pile of papers since dec. So which categories is scan items? I found I have been changing the way how I separate them fir me to keep up with the banks stuff. Really afraid to throw them away. Too tedious to file small little papers. Any Tips on too micro- filing?
perhaps is my "pending" box which i have both at work and at home :) i have the same kallax drawers u have in the background - one with my pens and utensils and the other where the (very few) papers go until i go thru them (takes 2 min LOL) .. going minimalist was the best thing i ever chose for myself
New here and love it. AND THAT MUG! ☕️ 😍
Welcome and...yarp! 😁👋
I am subscribed and have the notifications bell set to "ALL" and didn't receive any notifications for this new video. As luck would have it, it showed up in my feed!
Hi Jessica! Yes, many people didn't get a notification...don't know what's up with RUclips but glad you "found" me anyway! 👋😃
What do you do with paper “needing action“ where that action is for example reading it and deciding if you want to keep it! Like a magazine with a couple of interesting articles in it or recipes, or movies at a Local place that you might want to go to... ? I have talked English over the years and also worked a little with people learning German, and I’ve started getting better at tossing things that might be “good for a class“! Miscellaneous interesting reading texts etc. ... it sometimes has to do with what our current focus in life is, and requiring decision on that first…
Another question I have is about receipts from when I go shopping. If I didn’t buy anything that I might want to return, what should I do with them? That’s a question of financial habits I suppose overlapping with paper habits. I don’t particularly have a bookkeeping system at the moment…
Thank you so much for laying paper clutter out step by step! I have heard quite a bit about the fly lady method and I am intrigued! Also, I adore your earrings! What brand are they?
Thank you, Hope! Earrings are H&M
Diane
Very nicely explained :)

This is an area I really want to get control of in a system that works for me. As a T2 I have piles of papers because I just hate taking the time to file them. I keep them ‘just in case’ and other than home, birth, tax records I rarely need any of it. I feel like filing just delays the inevitable step of purging them later.
And that's okay, Deb - sometimes we just need a little time! 👋😊
Would you recommend doing the paper in little increments everyday after our routines are finished and we’ve done our zone? My paper is in my basement but this week I’m in my master bedroom.
Fit it into your day or week as you like, Mary! 👋😃
This video was very helpful thank you, but I had a thought about your mini diffuser. Here in New York in the winter The air is very dry and I have to run some thing with water in it to keep my nose from bleeding. Isn’t it dry where you live? I think of this every time you mention your mini defuser because I couldn’t live in winter without mine that runs with water
It's humid here so no problems with my diffuser! Hope that helps!
@@DianeinDenmark thanks for letting me know I love learning about different countries. I had no idea that cold air could be humid lol
I just wondered did you do the giveaway? I haven't had time to search everywhere I did look but can't find it.
My phone is not great for writing at the moment
I jgot the answer at the endu
Laughing to myself because I watched this while going through my one inch of paper 😅
Go you! 👏😅☕

I tried links in the description and several aren't working.
They seem to be working at my end, Brittani. Any particular one I can help with? 👋

No, my own business. (I left Premium three years ago)
That's what I thought!
You don't really promote it that's why I was surprised

What to do if your partner is the one who pays the bills and not interested to be told what to do
"Shop your house."
The only paper clutter that I have is too much paper for arts and crafts... I let my husband do all the bills... no paper clutter for me.
Great solution! 😁
