Beyond Paper Piles: Creating an Effective Filing & Archiving System
Many of us do an excellent job of keeping up the paper in our homes. We pay the bills on time, or early. We call and make the necessary appointments when we receive reminder cards. We RSVP to invitations within the appropriate time frame.
But then, once acted upon…we have no idea what to do with it. Will we need it again? If we throw it out after we’re done with it, will the world end or we get into trouble with someone? …. Face it…some of us are responsible, efficient file-o-phobes!
If this describes you…we may have the answer!
In this course you will:
- Learn about timeline-based filing
- Explore alternative filing systems to accommodate personal needs
- Create a personal archiving system for everyone in the home
Course Outline:
Week One – In our first week of classes, we will learn to properly sort our ‘to-file’ piles according to timeliness of future needs. We will determine which system works best for each individual, and establish that system in our homes. We will house ‘special-needs’ filing (e.g. guarantees) in unique and efficient ways.
Week Two – In our second week together, we will look at archiving materials for each individual in the home, and explore further the ‘special archiving’ needs of those ‘saved’ papers (e.g. kids’ school or artwork, special subject matter clippings and printoffs, etc.) within a personalized library system of storage.

Class F.A.Q.
How Do These Classes Work? Our classes feature a very easy to navigate portal you will login at to access your course. You do not need to be a tech-guru to take our classes. Our classes do not require you to be present at a specific time of day. We use downloadable lessons, message boards, and an online event room to allow you to work through each lesson whenever it fits into your day. The weekend before class begins you will be sent your system user ID and password to login to our community support and learning system.
On the class portal page you will be able to:
- Share on our class message boards and receive step-by-step guidance for any questions during your journey.
- Access and print (or save) your lessons.
- Network with other class members through the message board or instant messaging system.
- Access any class links and worksheets. This portal is extremely easy to use, no internet or message board finesse required.
How much time does this class require? There is no mandatory deadline or sharing with the assignments (although sharing is encouraged and half the fun!) therefore you are free to work at your own pace although you will need to download all lessons during the class period. We do leave classes open for 1 month beyond the scheduled end date, to allow you to retrieve any outstanding information and download lessons–although class helpers are not available for Q&A during this time. Class helpers are only available during the actual 2 weeks of the course. Since we run so many classes, we are unable to send lessons manually or to make them available once the class has closed. By completing an action plan and downloading the lessons you can continue to work on your new system at any pace comfortable to you.
