Taming The Paper Tiger At Home

The Story

Most people have an area they'd like to get 'more organized.' At work, it could be a desk buried in phone messages, memos and work-in-process, overstuffed file cabinets or indecipherable computer files. At home, maybe it's a dining room table laden with bills and receipts, a pile of articles waiting to be read or photographs that need labeling. No matter what the situation, Barbara Hemphill has the practical solution to help control these 'Paper Tigers.'For twenty years, Hemphill, America's leading professional organizer, has shown people how to create sensible, workable paper-management systems. In these two books, she presents her 'F-A-T' system ('File, ' 'Act, ' 'Toss'), which helps readers determine what needs keeping. Then she shows how to develop easy-access filing systems for those items.And because the 'paperless office' never arrived, Hemphill also thoroughly covers organization for the computer and details how best to use it and paper systems together. Her practical tips turn even the mos cluttered spaces into places where 'To-Do' lists actually get done!
