“Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true”. Joseph Cardinal Suenens

Do you wish you could get rid of clutter? It isn’t that easy to just wish it away. After we have the dream of getting rid of clutter then we need to act on that dream.

Today make your dream come true by doing just one little thing to clear clutter. It could be to reduce clutter under your bathroom sink, a drawer in your desk or gather all loose papers in your home into a basket to get ready to set up a good working file system. You know my favorite is Freedom Filer because it is so simple and functional.

Dream your dream and then set about making it come true.

My friend knows how much I love to file with the Freedom Filer system. She was sick and tired of all the paper clutter she had in her home so she came to me and bought the system this week. As we were talking she shared this experience with me:

They had their kitchen tiled and were very happy with the job that was done until a few months later when the grout began to come out. They want to contact the man who did it but their dilemma now is that they don’t know what they did with the man’s contact information. She realizes if she had had a working filing system she would know exactly where to find his information. (It would be in the orange category under Service Providers if she used the Freedom Filer system). It is just that simple.

A good filing system by color and category saves so much time, frustration, money and emotional trauma. If you don’t have a place for every piece of paper that comes into your home I suspect you have a lot of clutter or at the very least a certain amount of frustration when looking for important papers.

My organizing tip of the day is to set up a working filing system, get rid of paper clutter in your home, start slow when doing this and enjoy the journey which will lead you to a more peaceful life. (Sorry if that sounds corny—it is true).
