Make It a Regular Task
You're never going to be free of the paperwork in your life, so you might as well learn to live with it graciously. Set aside time every two weeks to deal with paperwork, and allow at least an hour. This will ensure that you never get behind on any of the bills. Make it a time when you can be reasonably free of demands from your kids and spouse. Sit down with a cup of tea, turn on some music and get to work.

Personal Time
Make sure you schedule some time for yourself every day. It's important for you to get everything done at work and then spend time with your friends or family, but you should also spend time alone. Read a book, meditate, or get into a hobby that gives you a sense of satisfaction.

Deal with the Financial pile first - pay the bills, balance the checkbooks, review the investment accounts. This is usually the most critical pile. Then move onto your Action stack, which always comprises a diverse and annoying little set of tasks. Don't do work now that involves leaving your desk unless you're retrieving something. The point here is to reduce those piles of paper to a minimum, 

not to get involved in other projects. When you're done, you should have a bunch of paper in the trash, a small stack added to the filing basket, and possibly a few other papers that need to be given to someone else. Put these in your briefcase now,

and finish off your paperwork session by filing every single thing you've tossed into that big file basket at your feet.
