Tackling Paperwork

It's time for Tackle It Tuesday with 5 Minutes for Mom .

This week, I decided to tackle the paperwork that I had building in the kitchen hall closet. This is how it looked before:


And this is how it looked after:


I guess dusting wasn't part of the tackle:-(

Hi Susie! I haven't tackled anything yet:( Well, I did clean house yesterday but my camera died so I couldn't take any before or after pics. Paperwork/bills was something I tackled too!

Kristi said...

I didn't notice the dust until you said that! Great tackle. Blessings to you.

Great tackle! My desk is always in need of paperwork tackling from bills and school papers to recipes and coupons, etc.

Have a great Tuesday!

Oh, would you like to come to my house next? I have so many areas that need tackling.

(I didn't notice the dust until you mentioned it. ;))

Great!! My desk is being overrun with paperwork. ANd I have these three decorative baskets that my husband has decided to take over with all of his various paper garbage. I need to tackle those. *sigh*

Charlotte said...

How is it that papers multiply so quickly? They look so small, easy to put away and unassuming until there's a pile 6 inches thick on the desk waiting to be filed.

Can I just say I love paperless documents? I wish more companies would start using them.

Great job!! Paper has a way of multiplying around our house. It seems like I am always "tackling" it!!

Congratulations on your tackling effort! Stopping by from SITS!

Aubrey said...

Are you sure you really tackled it or is it all shoved in that top drawer??? Just Kidding!!

I hate dusting! But unfortunately, it's the one thing I have to keep on top of.

You crack me up. Dusting is my least favorite chore and the last thing I do. Good job on the clean up area! IF only it would stay that way. That's how I feel in my house anyway.

Controlling My Chaos said...

Love the dusting comment. I loath dusting. Great tackle, paperwork is one of those things that gets out of hand so quickly.

Amber Jones said...

I didn't notice the dust either. I was just admiring the fact that you did it. Now.. come do mine! haha. I have a pile of papers probably 3-4 times the size of that one that I need to go through. Oh well, another time another Tuesday. :)

Typ0 said...

But did you go through the pile or simply find it a new home? Or am i teh only one who does that? LOL

Thanks for visiting on my BAtW day! ;)
