How I did it: Bit by bit, I threw away papers that I had collected.  After the last move, I didn't want to burden someone else's back (or mine!) with all that useless clutter anyway.  Bills have a home, notes have a home, papers have a home... I can still do more, but it's better off than where I was even a year ago.

Lessons & tips: If it's not for taxes (and even that is negotiable!), consider scanning it, saving it in an organized manner (like a binder for old class notes, etc.), or just CHUCKING IT.  It was a bit scary at first, but overall liberating in the end.

Resources: Binders, plastic drawers, kittens that would eat things if I didn't throw them away!
