Welcome back! I have started a journey working from home. I now have a home office. It has been wonderful so far! Thank you for the tips. I have quite literally watched every single video you have uploaded. Ever. You look wonderfully happy and healthy. I hope you and your family are well. While my country (Australia) is burning, I sit in my home in rural Victoria doing anything I can to distract myself- what better than sort out my home office! Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
Tanya DeMillo thank you so very much Tanya, that’s really kind of you. I can’t speak for all aussies, but I know that I feel the love and support from the rest of the world. This means the world to me xxx
Im so happy you're back... I got hooked on your channel as a newlywed 4 years ago when we were living on a MASSIVE house my parents kindly let me live in (borrowed) for a year... We now live on a TINY one bedroom appartment and your videos STILL help out so much. We are saving for our house and since im having a baby soon Im nesting like crazy and decluttering this tiny space. Thank you for coming back!!:)
Binders are brilliant! And so are you. Thank you for all you share for free - you are generous with your skills. I have purchased one of your programs and benefit from the advice.
So glad to know you've benefited from the advice! :) I appreciate your kind words, that means a lot. Thank you for the opportunity to support your organizing journey, Jen! :)
Love seeing someone else do what I have done for years. When I was teaching, all of my school files were in binders and it made such a difference! People would ask me "can I borrow such and so paper?" and I handed it to them in about ten seconds flat or less.
I love the way you organized the car records by year, highlighting it at the top! Brilliant. So excited to see your new system! (Can't believe I'm early twice in a row). 💛
So happy you are back. I switched over my file cabinet to Better Binders a few years back after watching your video. Love this system. So easy to keep updated and everything I need is right at hand and best of all, no clutter!!
So delighted that you are back. Your organization programme s have changed my life . I purchased your PPP and it revolutionized my world . Great to have you back . Love you and your work
Great video - I am now going to consider moving to binders- thanks! I can’t wait to see the next one! Would be great to get a peek into one of the binders you are actively using.
YAY! It definitely feels easier! I just accessed my health binder yesterday and it was a breeze to find what I was looking for without having to shuffle through a big stack!
Alejandra, everything looks so pretty. So much nicer than those cumbersome filing cabinets and easier access too! I must get started on this. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Great to see you back ......we want more videos from u and your excellent ideas👌👌 Room makeovers .....color selection...... changing old things from the house and more👍
This video was so helpful thank you! I am organizing my paper clutter that got way out of hand and I am so excited to try your system, and to finally get organized!
I will be rewatching all of these cause I want to be the boss of my paperwork and not the other way around! I lost an important document recently, I had it in my pocket the whole time, but while I was looking for it, I was super stressed out! Never again!!
I have gone almost completely digital with our paperwork. I keep our passports, birth certificates and wedding certificate in a fireproof safe. Our sentimental documents go in a folder and we have one folder each. All other documents I scan through an app on my phone and upload to google drive. This way there are easily accessible and safe from damage. These are documents like receipts, medical records, bills, banking records, insurance details. The amount of paperwork you actually NEED to keep a hard copy of is actually very small
Love your system, amazing! But you definitely can't do this in the UK. Any time you need to prove your address you need three paper documents received within the last few months, and they won't take digital.
Exactly what i do!all that paper gives me anxiety and takes up too much space, i dont even know why im watching this video🤷🏼♀️prob just bc i like alejandra
Thank you so much for sharing your videos with use 😊 paper organizing is the hardest for me . I really like the binder system and believe it’s something I could keep up . Thank you 😊
So glad you are back. You really motivate me to organize. I love all your videos I learned so much from you. Can’t wait for another organizing video from you. Please continue to make videos like this😘😘😘
Can you do a segment on setting up organization and filing for business? I have a retail store and would enjoy information on how you organize business files.
I'm a big time sewer, and the paint swatches will be helpful for Winter/Summer sewing patterns- all 100+ of them. They are free after all. Thanks Alejandra, from Brisbane!
I just found your videos on youtube, and I loved some of the things to said about filing systems and cabinets. I just can't seem to work without folders for example, a landscape company I keep a Folder for every year, but only 1 file, it gets quite big!
Wow, this is SO helpful, thank you Alejandra! Papers have always been tough for me, and though I finally got everything organized into a file box a few years ago, I've found that I still get stressed when it comes to putting things away as well as trying to find what I need (or remembering what certain items are for and how they relate to the folder). I think the binder system might just be the thing I need to organize papers in a detailed way while also giving myself full visibility, instead of a bunch of papers all squished into one hanging folder! 🙈 Sighing sighs of relief and anticipation now...can't wait to go through my papers to see if this will work ☺️
Perfect timing!! However, I just got even more overwhelmed. ha,ha. I need to start on my decluttering first. I don't scan things into computer...big phobia. I am paranoid on throwing something out that I will need. Statements, receipts, credit card info, ect. what about when a different company takes over your mortgage, do I keep all previous company paperwork?
I do have a filing cabinet but as often as I can, I go paperless and have a PDF file of my bill (or whatever). I categorize them by year and Payee and save them to my competed and also a flash drive. I’ve been thinking about what I would do if my house burned down. Perhaps storing in a “cloud” somewhere as well... just a thought for those who want to save paper 😊
Can anyone make out the binder categories she has on the shelves? It would give me a better idea of how to sort! Anyway thank you! You've made my current dip into organizing my house papers a lot more manageable and I feel confident about setting everything in order!
Yay, I am so glad to see you and the skills you share. God is using you in a big way. I pray that all is well. God bless you and be safe. You are a blessing.
Divaaaa! Where have you been!?! So glad your back!! I missed my organization Diva. I’m in paper clutter mess. What can I do with all my Business development Notes from classes, seminars, events. Also I’m starting a Makeup and styled service business. Can you do a video on how to file all your business documents??
I’m sooo glad to see you went to binders!! I’ve been using the’ put everything in a folder by month’ system... but whenever I need a statement from Macy’s or the power company... I have to GUESS which month, then dig through a stuffed folder..😏😫... no more!! So I decided to go to binders for each category. ThenI saw this video!! Yay! My question... do you use the big drawer files at all anymore? I am about to purchase ikea file drawers but won’t of not necessary!! 👍🏽👍🙏🌈 Thank you!!!
I love you. I’m not gonna lie, it does give me a little anxiety to think of how much I need to do.... I’ve been trying to do what you have done all my life! I have binders and folders and colors and I get part way done then I get overwhelmed. Any advice for people like me? Like, if I had my stuff like that my life would be so much easier. Hard to know what to throw out too.
gravyz2cute4u : well the very beginning of this video with the files tabs. - that sounds do-able and I have to start and stop right there. I think this is great advice! Totally going to first just start the year with this and try to just store the rest - other than the red stuff
It helps me if I break up the tasks I need to do in small sections, and then write down what exactly I need to do on paper so you can reference it when you feel a little overwhelmed :) Just work in small steps
I hear y’all. Just do a little each day. Set a timer for 15 minutes and stuck to it daily - no more or no less than 15 mins. We are all works in progress. If you can’t shake feeling overwhelmed then you might be a perfectionist. Try to turn off the perfectionism to get over hurdles. You can do it! Other free resources are The Fly Lady, Messies Anon., and Clean Mama. They have a lot of free tips and inspiration as well.
I love your ideas to organize paper and files and have implemented some of them in my life. However, I would recommend making a video that doesn't involve using too many papers, files, colorful tabs, etc. I am conscious about paper use/wastage, not to forget being an additional cost to buy those extra frills. Do you have recommendations to organize an office while being mindful of costs and the environment?
Go to the Dollar Store. She has earlier videos for office organization from the Dollar Store. You don't have to have as many binders as she does. You can make yours more concise!

I love to hear you speak, Alejandra! You are genuine and humble. God bless you!
This video takes me back to my childhood. Do you remember when videos had content, weren’t 6 seconds long, and had bright (vs “aesthetic”) colours? ❤

Love the binder method much better than my file cabinet. I’m going to have to try that.
YAY! It definitely feels easier! I just accessed my health binder yesterday and it was a breeze to find what I was looking for without having to shuffle through a big stack!

Sorbet Ice ahh see in Australia I would just print out the digital copies and that would be acceptable. All my bills are emailed to me anyway
Exactly what i do!all that paper gives me anxiety and takes up too much space, i dont even know why im watching this video🤷🏼♀️prob just bc i like alejandra

Hi! 😀 I missed your videos so much, although I have to admit that I haven't decluttered my house yet. It's one of my new year's resolution. 😉
Where did you get your desk and bookshelf/file cabinet? I would like to get a similar one.
How do you keep the binders straight on the shelf?
Hi Alejandra, Great insight as always. Thank you for the gift of organizing😊
Yay Alejandra is back on YT!🥳
Ps. What color is that on your walls pls?
Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige! It's lighter in person than what you see here! It's a GREAT neutral color!

I have some binders I’ve used for years. I’d love to see which subjects you use for binders and sub Categories.
One of my new year resolution was to get household paper all organized! Thank you! Blessings from Canada:)
