Paper, What to Keep, What to Toss
 Everyone has a different level of comfort in what they choose to keep and what they toss. When in question, ask an expert - your Accountant, Lawyer, or the IRS. Make a list of the type of documents you have and what your retention period will be. It will be a good guide as you purge papers. Remember that there are sometimes exceptions to your own rules. For example, if you have a pending injury or lawsuit, then you will need to keep the supporting papers.
One method that may help you to filter information is W.A.S.T.E Try it and let me know if it works for you.
* Is it Worthwhile?
* Will I use it Again?
* Can I easily find it Somewhere else?
* Will anything happen if I Toss it?
* Do I need the Entire item?
