90 - How to SORT Paper

Lisa Woodruff
About this episode

I LOVE to sort paper! But I know even the strongest man will break out in a cold sweat at the thought of sorting a mountain of paperwork. This week in the podcast, I am walking you through how I think about paper and where it all goes. I don’t even think it is the sorting as much as the KEEP pile that will drive you bananas. I keep paper in 3 places:

  1. The Sunday Basket
  2. Binders
  3. Files/Or scanned

You can see pictures of the process and download a printable over on the blog post, but if you want to understand how I decide if a paper is a basket, binder, or file paper, you’ll want to listen to the podcast.
