Create A Central Command Center
If you home is overflowing with papers, maybe a central command center would help tame the paper tiger. The Container Store has Wall Pockets that hook onto one another. They come in packs of two – make sure you buy enough for each family member.
The Wall Pockets can be used to:
- Deliver phone and mail messages.
- School notices to be signed and items to be completed.
- Items that are referred to regularly, such as school menus or schedules.
When mail comes in the house, sort and put in the boxes and then toss the rest! Plan a day for each person to go through their box and complete any necessary items and toss unneeded items.

These look great. When I die, my epitaph is going to read, “She died with a too much paperwork on her desk.” Ack!
