Paperwork: Discard Everything

With paperwork, the process will be slightly different. You should still gather all of your paperwork in one place and go through it piece by piece.

But this time, you’ll want to divide your papers into three categories: pending (documents that relate to ongoing matters), save because you must (documents that your job requires you to hold on to), and save because you want to (documents that help you perform your job).

Once you’ve sorted the papers and discarded those that don’t fit into these categories, put them all in vertical hanging files to keep papers easily accessible and retrievable.
