Purge All the Paper Clutter in Your Apartment Home with These Organizational Hacks

A healthy lifestyle starts with an organized apartment home space, and too often, we tend to ignore paper clutter in our organizational projects. However, the amount of office paperwork, magazines, newspapers, and other printed material you have lying around your floor plan is becoming increasingly overwhelming. By purging this very paper clutter, you can allow yourself a deep sigh of relief. Start with these tips below.

  1. Put reading material where you are most likely to read it. Place a magazine holder next to your favorite chair or designate a drawer in your nightstand for all of your magazines. Don't leave a stack of periodicals on your coffee table if the television is nearby and it is a major traffic area – you're not likely to read them there.
  2. Once you get a new magazine, throw the oldest issue away. This way, you will be keeping your supply manageable. If you hate to throw your magazines away, find a friend or family member who would enjoy receiving these old editions.
  3. If you find you only read parts of the magazines and newspapers you get, learn to pare down your reading materials from the beginning. When you get a new issue, look at the table of contents. Tear out articles that are of interest to you and toss the rest. Place these articles in a small folder. This is easier than trying to get through that huge stack of magazines in the pile.
  4. Consider getting rid of paper subscriptions altogether. Many magazines now offer subscriptions that can be downloaded onto your smartphone, computer, or tablet. Many apps now even allow you to enjoy full magazines, cover-to-cover. Take advantage of these high-tech solutions and reap the benefits of a cleaner space.
