poltr1This afternoon, I started looking for some paperwork I received in the mail last September. I've yet to find it.
It's not upstairs in the loft. It's not downstairs in the living room. It's not even in the portable safe. Where did it go?
As I looked around upstairs, I thought, "I'm in over my head. My files have overwhelmed me. The only way to fix this problem is to have a big bonfire."
The problem is, I'm not as ruthless as I need to be when it comes to paper files. I think, "I can use this someday", or "This can come in handy someday", or "I'll need this two weeks after I throw it out", or "This could be worth money".
Maybe I should just get some cardboard boxes, pile the papers in the boxes, and schlep them into storage. But I'm not sure that's an option anymore. It's so much easier to do that than it is to sort or even sift through the papers.
I need help.
