Breaking Down a Big Project | Paper Primer | Part of the Landscape—canceled

Big organizing projects can disrupt your routines and leave you feeling swamped and overwhelmed. We’ll suggest tips to help you break down and keep control of big projects.

Almost everyone who struggles with clutter can point to paper as one of their challenges. We’ll offer a short primer on managing the paper you decide to keep.

How do you deal with things that have been in your life for as long as you care to remember? We’ll talk about dealing with stuff that’s become part of the landscape.
