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.

Yeah. I've always been told people should go get their credit reports every year. Recently someone morphed that to, since there are three main reporting companies, "fetch one every four months." I've NEVER been good about that. Bad disorganized lazy me, right? :-/
So a coupla weeks ago I put a fake "meeting" in MeetingMaker (my job's online calendar system). The agenda has the URL (I use http://www.annualcreditreport.com/). Every four months I will get a reminder, and with no brainpower required I will click on the link provided, and *poof* I will fetch a credit report from the next of the Big Three. It's simple and stupid and I sort of feel like I shouldn't need to plan like that for such a small task. On the other hand, maybe it'll WORK! We'll see.
