25 Things in 2025 - Thing #19
Aug. 23rd, 2025 10:29 amSort out my current papers/documents
Not the most exciting of Things, but still it needed doing. And I have done it. Very old documents have been shredded, having sorted out the few which might be worth keeping, and I do err on the side of caution. Quite old documents are in a folder so that next time I come to do this (probably in two-three years' time) they're easy to find. Middling old documents are in another folder, so accessible if I need to look back. Documents from the last two years are in a third folder. And this year's (only) are in my expandable file, which now has lots (and lots) of room for current filing. (Yes, I do it on a weekly basis, along with replying to the emails I've been ignoring.) So now, when I'm looking for something, I should be able to find it.
Hooray!
