Organise Your Paperwork: From Paper Mess To Paperless – MaryAnne Bennie & Brigitte Hinneberg

No matter what you do or where you go, you’re very likely to accumulate piles of papers throughout your lifetime. Bills, receipts, invitations, letters, travel documents, birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce papers, academic transcripts, business cards- if you don’t have at least some of these pieces of paper located within your house, then you must be completely off the grid. As it is, most people do have these important papers, yet many people don’t have any reliable or organised method of keeping them in check. This book contains all the information you need to get your paperwork (and emails) sorted out, so that all like documents are kept together and you are able to find what you’re looking for easily. The system, when used correctly, is guaranteed to save you time and money (because you will no longer have to pay overdue fines from misplaced bills, or spend hours searching for important information). Set out in simple, easy-to-follow instructions, this book aims to help you control and organise the flow of paper that comes in and out of your house, and, in the process, make your life much simpler.
Organise Your Home: De-clutter, De-stress – MaryAnne Bennie

Have you ever wanted your house to look like the ones in interior decorating magazines? The ones that have everything perfectly in place, with no mess littering the kitchen bench, and home storage solutions that actually look good? The author of this book is an organising guru, and has set out some simple rules about how to turn your dreams of a perfect house into a reality. She has created an eight-step plan, which involves sorting through your things (room by room), removing unwanted items (selling, donating or throwing out), tidying up what you do have and then finding suitable storage solutions for those items. Of course, evaluation and ongoing maintenance are key steps with this idea of organisation, but the process is one that most people can follow and achieve. She tackles all the major rooms, including the kitchen and bedroom, providing helpful hints along the way. While most of the things she mentions are common sense, sometimes a book like this one is just the right motivator to get your organisation process started. So pick up a copy, and start getting your house back into shape.
