Reduce Paper Clutter in My Home

As part of trying to “refine, redefine, reorganize, and revise my goals” I’ve decided to mark this as done. I have reduced the amount and any future efforts can easily fall under getting organized or practicing flylady or one of the other similar goals.

Another couple of bins shredded. I’ve used a bit of it to make some paper, as well. Paper that can be used isn’t clutter to me. There’s so much of it still though…

This is just what was shredded, not including that which I just threw away. I have so much paper in this house. Yikes. Luckily it’s mostly all being recycled.

Another 2 shredder bins full of paper dealt with and shredded. They’ll be taken to recycling tomorrow.

Two grocery bags full of shredded paper over the past three days. (not including today)

Soon I’ll start sorting it all into categories instead of just pulling out the obvious trash.

Today is the first time I’ve really sat down with this goal in mind and started working on completing it. So far I’ve shredded a shredder bin full of paper – old bank statements, receipts, credit card offers. I’ve thrown away several bits too. Still working on it.

I’ve gotten rid of several magazines lately. I’ve yet to gather the courage to attack the boxes full of paper that need to be sorted, trashed, and filed though.
