Finished the Paper Category of Marie Kondo in the past couple weeks - probably took about 7 hours over 3 days. With DH and I both there it went SO fast! I couldn't believe how much we cleared out! Note we didn't pitch anything sentimental - that gets dealt with at the end.
We now how 3 huge totes filled with paper for the burn pile. And we took out another 2 drawers worth to hold for the 7-year tax requirement. Those just went into the garage. It is a HUGE difference in the office! We cleared out our email boxes too and can almost feel our sanity returning.
Actually, I still have one more cabinet to go but I'm not worried about it as I expect to pull out the kids report cards then pitch then rest. It is so liberating!
I think electronics is next.
