HI, I'M SHERRY BORSHEIM!
I created Organize Your Household Papers to help YOU finally blast through your piles of papers for GOOD.
As a professional organizer and productivity trainer, I’ve pretty much seen it all and organized and indexed 10,000’s of files, storage boxes and customized every single paper management system for each of my clients.
Organizing comes natural to me and I can see through any cluttered space and how to create a space that you envision. I can see past the piles of paper and boxes and know exactly where to begin and what the next steps are.
I’ve organized 100’s of financial filing systems, simplified and reduced stress for so many stay-at-home moms, entrepreneurs and working professionals. It’s almost effortless. One client said “It only took me 15 minutes to gather my papers for my accountant after you set up the file system.”
But I also have a confession to make. There was a time when paper piles surrounded me in the corporate world and it wasn’t until I started my organizing business and after revamping my own filing system three times in the first year, did I realize there was underlying root causes to the paper piles.
Back in my corporate days, I had a small desk, barely enough room to do my work, a small file drawer but no place for my project files. So they were piled on the floor. I drove me crazy, but what’s a girl to do when you can’t change the size of your desk unless you convince your boss that if I had a desk that was designed for my workflow, I could get my work done faster and they would have their investor packages faster.
So I had my dad build a custom desk designed exactly how I wanted it. It was so cool. And I convinced my boss to let me design better storage and office supply shelving so everyone in the office could get their work done faster and more efficiently.
I didn’t realize back then that I’d be doing this for a living, running my own company Simply Productive, creating spaces that where highly functional, efficient and beautifully organized. It’s my dream job.
Working in the corporate world for 15 years, I had four jobs, and at each one I either took it upon myself to revamp the filing systems, storage rooms, office supply room, and create databases, checklists, templates and forms to make everyone’s life easier. I didn’t want things to slip through the cracks and I didn’t like to waste time looking for stuff. I wanted to find information fast and do my work as efficiently as possible.
In the first year of my business, I realized that the #1 reason people were calling me for help was for their paper. Whether it was in their home or office. Fast forward 16 years later, and paper is still around and #1 reason people call me today. I’m known as the paper and file expert.
After we get your paper organized, I know you’ll want to get your digital clutter organized…you know…your overflowing Inbox, messy computer screen with 100 icons, 10,000’s of photos and computer files that are not easy to find. Digital clutter is always second on the list to get organized. That’s a whole other day and a completely different course, which I have for you as well.
Clear the Way
With a series of time-tested organizing strategies, I’ll help you get your papers organized for good!
Today’s your day to get organized.
Get Rid of Your Paper Clutter at Home is here to help you finally STOP the insanity of living with piles of paper and instead have a paper system that works for you.
It all starts with a vision and game plan.
Here’s how it all breaks down
Lesson 1: Great Your Organizing Vision and Game Plan
Here, we’ll help you get clear on what your vision is for your paper systems. If you don't have a plan you won't know what your working towards. It's like going on vacation to a new destination and no map of how to get there. Trust, me this is the first step and most people skip this step because they think it doesn't matter.
Lesson 2: How to Set Up Your File Systems
Here’s you discover how to set up your filing system and how to make your file cabinet ergonomic so it’s easier on your back. You’ll also learn how to separate personal and business files inside the file cabinet and I’ll demo how to actually create your file labels so its super easy for you find your files quickly. And I’ll share what file system mistakes to avoid that most people make.
Lesson 3: Organizing Your Bills and Receipts
Now that you know how to set up your filing system, you’ll create a customized paper system for your bill paying and receipts. No more missing receipts and “I can’t find the bills to pay.”
Lesson 4: Family Wall Calendar System
Here’s the think, every family will do this differently…so you got to do what works for you! You’ll see how a wall calendar system simplifies the life of a family 7 (with five kids), plus a full-time nanny and weekend babysitters. This family relies heavily on their visual wall calendar system so appointment times don’t get slip through the cracks, parents know each other’s schedules, and all the other activities happening in this busy household. You’ll be able to setup your own family calendar system so it works for you and your household.
Lesson 5: Setting Up a Household Reference Binder
This system complements a family calendar system and centralizes all the information a busy household needs when there’s an emergency, kids and parent’s schedules, phone lists and so much more. Learn what goes into this binder, how to set it up, download templates to use and a quick reference for nannies and babysitters to use.
Lesson 6: Cable Management Charging System
Keeping multiple mobile devices charged so there’s not a tangled mess of cords you need to set up a charging station. Discover simple quick fixes to create order and have cables at your fingertips that aren’t a tangled mess.
Lesson 7: Setting Up Your Kids Homework Zone
Here’s where you create an area for kids to do their homework and have what they need for all those projects they need to complete. Keeping it all organized and somewhat transportable is key to less stress and getting homework done faster! They won’t need to ask you “where is the glue and tape”, or “I need paper” or “Where’s the hole punch?” Teach your kids organizing skills at an early age and they will take those skills with them well into their adult years.

DON’T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT…
“For anyone looking at Sherry’s material, courses and coaching, I would just say they are great. All this chaos was causing problems. I could not find anything when I needed it. I was working on emergencies all the time because I was forgetting to complete client requests because the requests were disappearing in various piles of paper. Finally, feeling frustrated with the mess, I went to Google, “how to handle office chaos” looking for help. That’s when I found Sherry’s course to get rid of my paper clutter. Great program, solid ideas, highly recommend Sherry Borsheim, of Simply Productive. Wishing your business great success.
