HELP ! I am drowning in a sea of paper! I'm trying to declutter my desk and it is overflowing with paper !
How much should I keep and how much to bin/ recycle.
Eg: Do I need bank statements going back to 2008 ?

All top tips gratefully received. MANY THANKS in advance.....

Before I retired I worked as a lab tech for a company which made paper labels for the food industry . Any paper which is more than a few months old becomes infested with paper mites , the smell you get on old books is actually urine from the mites gone stale !! does that help to de-clutter and get rid of paper !! All mine goes straight into the recycle except the absolute essential stuff . I try to have most stuff online .

Yes, we are being targeted by ads. Wonder if holdthetonic is a genuine poster or just something that triggered these pop ups.

GNHQ???
