So, one of my projects for this vacation period is to shred all of my confidential paperwork that I have not disposed of since 2004. The IRS says we need to keep business/financial records for 5 years, so that is what I had done for years. But got out of the habit of doing in 2009. So, now I am having to get caught up so I can clean up.
Last Christmas I purchased a good shredder that allowed me to shred more than a few minutes at a time. I started last night, with some records I had pulled years ago, and never finally finished shredding. So, I started with those, and moved to the others that need shredding. I have repacked the ones that do not. I am keeping some important receipts and special documents that have been filed in with the bills, receipts, tax returns, and what have you.
Getting these documents cleaned out and sorted was a primary project for this week off. And, finally when I have used up a large portion of my time off, I am finally working at it in a serious sort of way.
