Remember when I wrote this? How I thought I’d conquered my paper clutter?
I just found THREE SHOPPING BAGS FULL OF MAIL in one of my closets. With mail from 2005.
Fucking hell. I’ll have to just bring it in to work and dump it in the shredder bin. It’s too much for my little shredder to handle.
Oh, I’ve got you beat on that. Trust me.
Sigh. My summer vacation plans consist of decluttering of piles. The “backpack express” is my worst offender — that’s when the school packs your kid’s backpack full of not only their work but also sheets and sheets and sheets of “important’ notices and whatnot. If you don’t organize that EVERY DAY you get buried in it. And you can’t indiscriminately throw it out. I tried that once and missed several important events the kids still remind me of.
When are schools going to go green and just send us e-mails?
