Paper Clutter

[cjsmith]

Counting the deep drawers in desks, I have nineteen file drawers in one room of my house. Ten of them currently hold my filed paper. (Well, okay, nine and a half. I just spent an hour throwing away stuff.)

Whether I go paperless or not, the first step is to throw out about six drawers' worth of files I don't need. For example, I have my pay stubs back to the beginning of my current job. Do I really need all my pay stubs for all my PREVIOUS jobs? Do not doubt for a minute that I have them, every one.

Oh holy moly! Something tells me I already lost that race. :-)

I've now pitched another half-drawer or so.

Congratulations on your fever!

Thanks! The one fever that feels kinda good! :-)

I really wish I knew how to produce such a fever on demand. Some days I'm just down and grumpy and unproductive, and man, if I could flip a switch...
