I am a genealogist who has 30 some odd years of research materials in paper form. I’d like your opinion, do you think the Home Office Organizer would be the way to go to sort and scan my paper records? Also, would this product eventually become obsolete and all my research materials lost in the computer if I were to rid of all the “paper?”

My husband and I have a home that is full to the hilt. After months of talking about decluttering, came to fruition when we sat down, completed a quick purge of every room in the home. We organized a one-day yard sale of our items and made enough money to account for over $500.00. I feel better, less stressed, and want to get rid of more. Peace of mind is worth more than things.

It’s always a struggle for me to keep my little office in the corner of my apartment simple.

I tend to collect stuff, focus on progress and skip the maintenance, so after a week I cant even put one more mug on my desk.

If I don’t fix it, my first employee will be a cleaning lady

The maintenance issue of items is a big ticket item. It can really add up. Maintaining items that you may not even need for your office doesn’t seem to make sense. But sometimes we don’t even stop to think about it, till it breaks down and you think “I hardly even use this anymore”. Why do i need to repair it?
So “less is more” should be the motto to live by.

Hi,

First of all, I would like to say that this is one topic that I say more people should be writing about. I mean, not all of us would willingly admit it but it’s a commonality that for most people, we tend to be “hoarders”. If only we take the time to sit down and check the stuff that we own, you will be amazed how much of these that we have accumulated in a short/long period of time – we don’t actually need anymore.

I would definitely like to say that if you had less, you would have more time. I have read an article just recently that says – if you simplify the things around you, there is a correlation to the increase and improvement of your productivity. If you think about it, this may actually have a lot of sense since when you see clearly around you, without all the clutter and the mess and the unnecessary pile, you are able to think more clearly and a lot of creative juices get flowing when you are able to see clearly.

Thumbs up to this article!

“Our society has come to a rude awakening of sorts in the last couple years. So many people had been brought up to think that more is more.”
Let me confess – I too believed this theory until I started my own home business. I am not from an affluent family and had been struggling with my colleagues in catching up with them. But when I started my own business, I realised that this abundance theory is not the way to go… Cut down and get practical… You will find that you can save a lot and this will help you becoming successful
