Do you remember some years ago when there was much discussion about a paperless society? Well, that day has yet to materialize, so until it does, we still have to deal with paper. Just as I've written about the need to make a decision about each piece of physical or electronic mail that dares enter your space, so do you have to be diligent about each piece of paper that "finds" its way into your home or office. If it's not critical to your life (home, health, auto or life insurance polices) or business (receipts and contracts), does not somehow make your life easier (manuals and warranties) or does not absolutely melt your heart (love letters and the like), let it go!! Of course, this is not an all-inclusive list, but a general road map. You'll have to decide what is most important to you, but keep this in mind as you do-EVERYTHING can't be important-you have to let go of most papers that you receive.
