Paper Management: Strategies for Tackling Paper Clutter

August 23, 2024
In this episode of 'No Shame in the Home Game,' we dive into the world of paper management. As usual, we bring different perspectives - one of us is a paper hater, while the other is a paper lover. We discuss the mental fatigue that comes with managing various forms of paper, from mail to important documents. We share our personal stories, strategies for handling paper clutter, and even brainstorm potential solutions like using a desktop scanner. We also touch on the importance of having a clear system for managing critical documents and the challenges of sharing paper management responsibilities with a spouse. Tune in as we explore tips, hacks, and the joys (or lack thereof) of dealing with paper at home.
