Give me a few more days and the paper clutter will vanish

I have started getting rid of unwanted paper of which I have loads. I just finished one lot. They are all over the place - in drawers in cupboards, on tables..............
Once I clear this clutter I have decided to take a decision then and there and throw away what I know I have no use for.
Getting rid of stuff one has no use for is a healthy way to live.

@allknowing that is easy for me as well. I keep away from negative people and those backbiters. Right away after knowing them who they really are.

I take long to take that decision and that is how paper gets collected. But this time I will not hesitate.

@allknowing I have thrown many of what I had collected. Now my husband must show that he is getting rid of his stuff too.

Despite using texts, emails, etc, the amount of paper never seems to diminish. Well, mine never does...

That is a lot of paper. What are those for? Anyway, be careful in sorting not to throw an important one.

@Sheali I finished the second lot today. I did not destroy them but dumped them. We have a small house where our staff stays. One room is reserved for our junk (lol)

@allknowing I also hesitate at times because something might still be needed, you are right, it takes a firm decision.

Good for you and I know it is overwhelming but it has to be done. It is very hard to decide to do it but you are doing it.

You are right and you have to clear your desk everyday to avoid accumulating all these clutters.

Thats a smart thing to do. I like to keep records of bills and any paper I get in the mail just in case but it accumulates. The one thing I discard right away is junk mail and paper containers for products right into the recycle bin.

@allknowing True. Only when there is a problem do we want to review what went on in the past. Much is on computer now.

It's really good to declutter and get rid of the stuff. Even though you said those are paper clutters, at least they are still being stacked nicely there.
I have always been working on decluttering + organizing my home, it's still a long journey to go though it's getting better as my kids are older. My youngest still contributes to the clutters.
