About this listen

We are drowning in paper. We keep stacks of it on the kitchen counter, stash it in drawers, and stuff file cabinets full of documents (just one file cabinet can hold 18,000 sheets of paper - yikes). Despite this clear crisis of paper, there hasn't been a book devoted to managing and organising this single most abundant item in our homes - until now.

In The Paper Solution, Lisa Woodruff delivers a proven, step-by-step guide to decluttering the paper in our lives and sorting what's left behind into easily accessible, structured and, most importantly, manageable files.

The system Woodruff offers isn't based on unrealistic advice, such as 'touch a piece of paper only once'. Instead, it accounts for paper's unique qualities: its sentimental value, ability to accumulate astonishingly fast, the generational differences in how it's treated, and the fact that it's not going anywhere despite the popularity of minimalism movements such as Kon Mari. Woodruff's approach is doable, effective and compassionate.

Much more than simply cleaning out your files, The Paper Solution will help you organise your paperwork with a purpose - removing the heavy burden of a chaotic mess and giving you the space and time to enjoy what you love and discover a sense of peace.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A great blend of actionable advice with real examples. Lisa explains we all have different life stages and unexpected events. As a result, she is a
very kind and empathetic coach.

(Her advice kept me sane when our Mum died and I was in charge of settling her estate).

As a long-time podcast listener, I really appreciate that she found a way to record the audiobook herself during a pandemic! (It just wouldn’t have been the same hearing someone else say it)

Thoroughly recommend 🌟
