We are drowning in paper. We keep stacks of it on the kitchen counter, stash it in drawers, and stuff file cabinets full of documents (just one file cabinet can hold 18,000 sheets of paper – yikes). Despite this clear crisis of paper, there hasn’t been a book devoted to managing and organizing this single most abundant item in our homes – until now.

In The Paper Solution, Lisa Woodruff delivers a proven, step-by-step guide to decluttering the paper in our lives and sorting what’s left behind into easily accessible, structured, and, most importantly, manageable files.

The system Woodruff offers isn’t based on unrealistic advice, such as ‘touch a piece of paper only once’. Instead, it accounts for paper’s unique qualities: its sentimental value, ability to accumulate astonishingly fast, the generational differences in how it’s treated, and the fact that it’s not going anywhere despite the popularity of minimalism movements such as Kon Mari. Woodruff’s approach is doable, effective, and compassionate.

Much more than simply cleaning out your files, The Paper Solution will help you organize your paperwork with a purpose-removing the heavy burden of a chaotic mess and giving you the space and time to enjoy what you love and discover a sense of peace.

It's a miracle! A system of managing papers (and my life) that works in tandem with my ADHD brain (and those of my clients). The Sunday Basket concept is so simple, yet so brilliant. The book takes you through the entire system, step by step. Great reference and great program. Highly recommended!'
