I find I just dont get around to tidying up the paper work as often as I should and I have piles of notes from school, letters etc all stacked up. Then I tackle it and it is a mammoth job to do it and takes a couple of hours. most of it ends up in the bin so I wonder why do i keep it in the first place! I just wondered do other people seem to accumulate a lot of paper work or is it just me?

  • It piles up out of nowhere. I’ve said to my husband we need to clear out the filing cabinet and make some room. He has lecture notes for his entire medical degree taking up all the space and I doubt he’ll ever need to go back and revisit a year one paper, we need the space!!

  • Try to keep it sorted into piles and they’ll be easier to deal with.

  • I have stacks of it. On the table, the bench, the floor, the computer desk, in drawers. I’m so bad. And I end up,doing what you do, having a massive clean up and throw most of it out. Weird!

  • I’d love to have a kitchen bench that isn’t a dumping ground!

  • Just that’s me ! I just haven’t got the energy to look at it so I just chuck it in the pile. I have so many unpaid bills, not because I don’t have the money to pay them but just because they are in the pile.

  • You are not on your own !! sometimes there doesn’t seem enough hours in the day and when there is paper work just feels like a horrid task.. give your self a small pile to work through after a visit to office works for some files to organise. I should practice what I preach im hearing you, there are many of us out there we are not all as organised as we would like to think but still great people..

  • Hate paper work! I try to throw out stuff that we don’t need straight away. But I still end up with a huge pile every month!

  • Not just you! I am currently leaning around a pile of paperwork just to see my computer monitor. It keeps getting shuffled to the bottom of my to-do list, and yes for the exact same reason – it’s such a big and time-consuming job and I can think of dozens more things I would rather be doing!
