Most people I know don’t like their current relationship with their paperwork.
And that’s understandable.
We all have accumulated an enormous amount of physical and digital paperwork over the course of our lives.
And often, it’s not very well organised. It takes up a lot of space in our homes, devices, and minds!
An overabundance of paperwork can cause stress and feel overwhelming.
At any time in our lives.
I believe it’s particularly problematic and can become a heavy burden in retirement.
Think about the many negative consequences of ‘too much’ personal information in your life:
-
- The ‘too much’ contains a lot of clutter, making it difficult to distinguish between what’s important and what’s not.
- It consumes too much space in your life and mind, leaving less room for new ideas, plans, activities, and experiences.
- It redirects your attention and energy to the past, preventing you from fully enjoying the present.
- It complicates planning and managing changes in life circumstances, such as moving or downsizing.
- It prevents you from being well-prepared in an emergency or life crisis.
- It intensifies your family’s suffering when something happens to you, such as critical illness or death, and they must take care of your affairs.
- It creates limiting feelings like insecurity, overwhelm, inadequacy, shame, frustration, or indecisiveness.
Too much and/or disorganised paperwork prevents us from experiencing clarity and lightness. And peace of mind.
What can we do to make it easier to fully enjoy a rich and relaxed life (in retirement)?
I believe the SOLUTION is the Radical Paperwork Optimisation Approach.
We need
-
- to exclusively focus on what’s very important to us now – and organise that in a simple and clear way.
- And to radically sort out what might have been important in the past but is no longer relevant now.
The Radical Paperwork Optimisation Process can help you create and enjoy a better-organised and more relaxed daily life.
My article series, ‘Radical Paperwork Optimisation and the VIP Directory’, provides you with all the information and tools you need to start and complete the process successfully.
