Great tips! I never thought of soaking paperwork containing private info in a bucket of water when our old shredder kicked the bucket. However, I'm glad we replaced our shredder instead.

Thanks! Good ideas, I am going to try removing myself from those marketing lists.

Paper clutter is my thorn in the flesh

Thank u!

Can you recommend an easy, quick, and convenient digital filing system to store and access all the paper you are stating to get rid of? I would like this to include all monthly statements received from anywhere, so it would not have to force me to go to each individual website each time I wanted to see a monthly statement, whether it be for credit cards, utilities, investments, etc. Also, Suggestions for power failures that last days and Internet down time of your ISP in accessing the digital data. Thank you.

Great info, My biggest challenge is catalogs. I tried to minimize the intake with a service call Catalog Choice with moderate success. Do you recommend a service to reduce the Influx of catalogs or a method I could take on my own to eliminate my issue? Thank You in advance.
