Tips to Declutter Your Collections

In the article below, Anne McGurty, a Paper Tiger Expert of Strategize and Organize, gives some tips to declutter collectibles so that your work space will be a more pleasing environment.  She also recommends implementing Paper Tiger Filing System Software to help you save time and money!

Strategize and Organize

Collections can look like works of art, or they can look like piles of junk — it’s all in the presentation and preservation.  Having a display is great if you have the room and your items can remain safe while presented well.

Strategize and Organize

Here are a few tips to declutter and organize your collection:

  1. Make a decision that you love what you want to keep.
  2. Ask yourself how you want to see the collection, ie., accessible, locked up, with back lighting, etc.
  3. Decide on a space to display the collection.  You may want to invest in a separate unit, a specialty cabinet or shelving.
  4. Accessorize or as they do in retail, merchandise it.  Use props, display stands, and by confining it to that area, you will prevent overload.
  5. For items that you don’t have room to display, you’ll need to decide if you will box and store them, or if you will give them away or recycle in some way. For items that you plan to keep and store, you can index the items from each box into Paper Tiger Filing System Software. Then when you need to retrieve something, you’ll be able to find it quick and easy….without a time consuming search.

With these few steps, you can declutter the various collections in your space and will be on your way to organizing your office.
