Little Bits of Paper

It may become a thing of the past with  the surge in technology, however, for now, little bits of paper can add to our clutter:

receipts, coupons, reminder notes, etc.

They pile up and I have this nervous feeling like I have a lot to do whenever I see the piles.  There are ways to get rid of the little pieces.  For coupons, my son bought me a wonderful accordian file that is small and fits up in my cupboard.  I can grab it before I leave for a store and inside are all my needed coupons and gift cards, gone from the counter and filed!  A similar little file could be used for receipts.  Always write the product on the receipt first so it's easy to find if needed.  Receipts can also be stapled to owner's manuals and filed in a file cabinet.  Put reminders into your phone or computer to pop up, or write the thing to remember on your calendar, eliminating the need for paper notes.  The time you save by having all your paper in a proper place so you can locate it within minutes is amazing, plus your refrigerator, desktop, and counters remain neat and easy to clean!
