Household Hints & Help

I was distracted and depressed 2016 to 2017. And I threw all extraneous paper into a wine box. And forgot about it.
Today I am de-cluttering.
Reviewing each document and blacking out all identification and addresses before recycling.
How bad?
Not exactly Hercules and the Augean Stables, but this will take all day.
Friends, get rid of your paper expeditiously and contemporaneously.

(60,568 posts)I took a day off yesterday. Among my tasks was throwing old papers into the box from which they will head to the recycling can. I shredded papers too.
And good morning.

(7,501 posts)I look at it every day, then find other things to do. Some of it is important but there is always tomorrow. OH wait, tomorrow is out, it is my volunteer day. Friday will be my target day.
Maybe it is my age. Years ago this would never happen. Now I just ignore it.
