I'm trying to sort paper for at least 15 minutes every day. I now have a paper grocery bag half full. I lift it every day to see how heavy it's getting.
My GOAL is not sorting lots of paper (UGH)... it's a big bag stuffed to the gills with recyclable paper! (I'm trying keep a 'positive' goal in my mind instead of 'negative.') Does this make sense to anyone else?

yep, makes sense to me sue5000 I think using positive words does help put a different spin on it and makes it more 'do-able' - 15 minutes a day sounds good!

I'll join in here. I would like to commit 15 minutes per day to making progress on papers (5 minutes is okay on extremely busy days).
Today I spent 30 minutes purging papers today. bonus : finally got a tax notice paid and updated the budget too.
