2026 Fresh Start Paper Organizing Workshop

 The paper organizing workshops are designed to help jump start you to get organized, confident, and in control of your home and paperwork. This hands-on event provides practical guidance and personalized support for anyone looking to reduce paper clutter and establish systems that last. 

  Participants will receive guided instruction on how to sort, categorize, and organize household, business, and personal papers. You may bring your current paper piles, files, and documents to work through during the retreat. 

 We will walk through simple criteria to help you determine what documents need to be retained, what requires immediate action, and what can be safely discarded—removing overwhelm and increasing clarity. 

  Attendees will learn proven organizational methods, including the Sunday Basket® workflow and binder-based systems for long-term household and financial records. These systems are designed to support busy families, ranch operations, business owners, and anyone managing multiple responsibilities. 

 The workshop provides a calm, encouraging setting to focus on your personal organization goals without distraction. Individual support and group accountability will help ensure meaningful progress throughout the session. 

  By the end of the workshop, participants can expect to leave with:
• Organized papers
• Clear action steps
• Simple systems to maintain organization
• Improved readiness for home, work, and life demands
• A renewed sense of clarity and control 

 For a deeper sort-and-setup experience, bring:

• All your unsorted paper: piles, files, bins, drawers, notebooks, and folders 
• Any existing paper systems you already use
• Important documents you want included in new binders or categories 
• A laptop/tablet if you use digital records (optional)
• Sticky notes, pens, highlighters 
• A comfortable tote or bin to transport items 
• Anything you need for a focused work session
