]]> Comment on It’s a Family Affair by Stacy Feil http://napo-newengland.com/blog/?p=358#comment-547 Stacy Feil Wed, 18 May 2011 14:30:01 +0000 http://napo-newengland.com/blog/?p=358#comment-547 Great topic! I've recently (and temporarily) moved in with my brother and his 5 year old daughter. Also in the house is my 71 year old father. A year ago we were all living many states apart. But when my mother died we decided to come together and regroup as family. The house we're all in is very small and my brother has sacrificed to accommodate us. My father is a hoarder. I am an organizer. I am learning first hand how important it is to communicate in a variety of ways to all members of the household so that everyone knows and understands the goals we are all trying to achieve. Great topic!

Paper, while it may always be with us, is becoming less important for archival purposes and search where digital versions are much superior.

That's what gets me! I end up with PILES of papers, none worth much after a few months, and I miss events because the tickets or the directions are lost in the shuffle of piles. But action tips? I'm going next to check out the links for the document sorter at Staples and the back up sites at Mozy and Carbonite. ahhhhh, yes, Hildy Neumann includes tips for the short shelf life paperwork.

Need for sleep/rest can really impede the purging process with children and adults alike.
