I agree with saving receipts – in a big envelope till the end of the year – just in case you need to return something – also to match them with you charge cards. You can contain just about all you important papers in one of those expandable letter size file folders with about 12 dividers.
No need to buy any more stuff to take up space.
Now, if you do not “know it to be useful or believe it to be beautiful” get rid of it. One of the principles of Feng Sui is to clear out the old so there is room for fresh and new. No need to keep the dried flowers around – clear a space and new will come your way. Like answer #1 says – do a little ever day.
take 10 or 15 minutes everyday to sort out or filing everything everyday. believe me it will help u to be more organized.but spend few minutes regularly. u will see a difference.(dont do in one day) I do filing(billing,mail,receipts) everyday just for ten to fifteen minutes , and not on weekends.
Go through all your papers, have a trash bin right next to you so you can throw the useless junk in right away. When you have things that have warrenties, put the recipt right with the paperwork, that way if it breaks you have everything you need. Have a file cabinet, so you can file your reciept month by month, after 6 months go through file one and get rid of the ones you no longer need.
get a file cabinet of some kind and label each folder for the different things you need to.
You will have to set up a schedule for yourself and find a way to get rid of this useless stuff. You will have to make a list for yourself and them decide what and when you are going to throw things out that are useless. So I suggest a list first and then a schedule. Work on it, it may help.
