My office is filled with papers - bank account balance sheets, stock market updates, old paid bills, salary slips, warranty cards, etc.
There are some papers that shouldn't be thrown away such as the salary slips and the warranty cards but the rest can be digitized to save room and to help with easier search.
Here are a couple of tips for un-clattering your papers:
1. Get a fast scanner and scan everything (product manuals, bills and even papers you can't throw away)!
2. Keep the papers you must and get rid of the rest (better shred the things that contain personal information).
3. Name the scanned files according to their content - use as explicit name as possible to aid with future search (Instead of "bills.pdf" write "Mar 2009 gas bill.pdf"). This process is longer at first but will save time in the future.
That's it - now you are left with what you need and a copy of the things you might need. Enjoy!
