Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Washington, D.C., organizing consultant Hemphill (The to Do Book) outlines a complete personal paper management system in this easy-to-read guide. "Clutter is postponed decisions," Hemphill states, and the key to her system is a sorting pile that generates flow to either the wastebasket, a reference file or an "action file." She describes specific tools (including X-Rack, calendars, peel-off file labels, Pendaflex hanging files) and strategies for paper management in the categories of bills and receipts, tax records, family documents, medical records, greeting cards, correspondence and photos. She tours the average household as well, covering the organization of newsletters, computer paper, books to read, slides, films, videotapes, travel papers, telephone messages and recipes. (Parents will appreciate the chapter on organizing children's paperwork: "Your children produce enough paper to fill a small art gallery within a week.")

Might be useful to some, Jun 2 2001
By jumpy1 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Taming the Paper Tiger (Paperback)
It's such a great-looking book and so well laid out, I wanted to like it but frankly this book never went beyond the obvious. It stays with the basic concepts of organization in a way that is on the level of organizing a locker in Junior High, which puzzled me. The only person I can imagine needing this book would be someone who never had to organize anything before. Perhaps a filing clerk just out of high school?

Half n Half, Nov 13 2009
By Linda F. Dudley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Taming the Paper Tiger: Organizing the Paper in Your Life (Paperback)
In the first half of the book I learned several organizing paper tips and really enjoyed it. However the second half was quite disappointing. I do not think that adding tons of extra files to your file cabinet will help you be more organized and find important papers quicker. All that does for me, is take alot more time trying to decide what title I might have filed it under, because there are now about ten possiblities. First half great, second half could use some improvement, this is probably the reason it has bad reviews. One possitive word before ending is that the first half has very good and useful information.
