It seems as though I am constantly waging war against a monster in our home: the PAPER monster. I have a very nice filing cabinet, and I try to deal with the mail as it comes in, but I still have stacks that pile up in my kitchen and office. It seems that there is a never-ending pile that needs attention before it can be filed away. Thanks to a little file organizer I actually already owned and some file folders and labels, I'm feeling much better equipped to deal with my paper monster.
Take a look at the before and after pictures of yesterday and today's project: (Yes, I did actually deal with all the papers!)

It's much enticing to work in a place that is organized. Glad to see that you made an effort to arrange your table and organize all those scattered papers. Make it a habit to place everything where they should be, so they won't clutter again in your table.
