About me...
I left corporate America in 2002 and launched my career as a Professional Organizer. My colleagues thought I was crazy, that this was just a fad. Some of my family members still do not understand what I do for a living. Well since then the Professional Organizing field has exploded with multiple tv shows, millions of books sold, and the minimalist movement. I’ve helped hundreds of clients sort and remove thousands of pounds of clutter from their homes. Over the years I’ve also mentored and trained other organizers who have gone on to run successful businesses. I want you to have that same training and support!

Thank you for producing super informative videos that get RIGHT TO THE POINT!

[@Givergurl]

Great video will definitely be using the tips in my personal and professional life

[@samanthafilologia]

Loved every single tip! Thank you so much!

[@kathrynwintercorn2910]

I really enjoy your videos. You are very informative with a pleasing personality. Your ideas decluttering break down a big job into a smaller one. The ideas are so doable. I was just working with someone who has a paper problem. This helped with incoming mail. Thank you so very much.

[@progypsy2343]

you are so spot on, and I have to say I have for years tried to end junk mail, so I will checkout PaperKarma

[@jessicahelene23]

I can’t wait to try PaperKarma! Please, please, please, make a video about organizing medical paperwork as well as other permanent files for the long term. I’m subscribed!

Growing up the main thing I was praised for was school papers and artwork, so I think that is why I get sentimental about papers in general. To separate general business mail from everything else may be the key to tidyness in this area... Thanks!

[@MK-ih6wp]

Great video, as always!! Will have to check out PaperKarma.. I'm about to start an organizing sesh w a client but I'll come back later to add my tips!

[@susieq2334]

Thank you!

Hi Katherine!! I enjoy this video this is hardest for me dealing with paperwork and school paper work from my kids. My problem is what to keep and trash.🤷🏻‍♀️

[@KatherineLawrenceCPO]

If you want to keep it just for sentimental reasons - scan it, snap a photo, or have kids pose with projects. I try to only create file systems for legal, financial, medical papers etc., the stuff that could have real consequence if you can't find it 😖 Do a nice purge before (or after) each school year ✔

Paper is way more than "mail". In my case I am an idea generator, reference gatherer, note taker, writer, poet, pattern maker, student (never stop learning), artist and more that I just can't think of off the top of my head. But like all other magical, mystical powers, I can not use them to my own advantage. "Wow, cool line!" Any suggestions?

[@tanniekins3120]

Hey Katherine! Thank you for the video and the F.A.T technique. Can you do a video on how you actually file organize the papers you keep? I’m trying to figure out the best method of that since I help my parents with their home. It just turns into piles of papers in the office.

[@KatherineLawrenceCPO]

For sure, I've got two more videos coming out in July - filing monthly bills and statements & filing medical paperwork. I could probably do many more....so much paper!! Feel free to send specific questions...

How do you manage the papers in your home?
