One thing I always liked about this challenge is that it is meant to help develope habits. Doing something daily for 40 days helps ingrain the new behavior onto your every day routine. ...

Yes ohblondie, it would be good for me to sort paper once a week or so. My file cabinet of permanent files is not in bad shape, but I have some trays of paper on my desks that have time-consuming stuff in it.
I got rid of 55 more pieces today, so 291 of 400. Just 5 days left!

Since my last post I've purged 30 pieces of paper, so I'm at 321 of 400. That means in order to finish I'll have to get rid of 79 pieces, and I think I can do it, because I have a file of bank statements going back many years and I don't normally keep the really old ones. This afternoon I'll work on it and my other files and hopefully come up with 79 pieces to shred.

The bank account folder yielded 55 pieces of paper to shred, which left me 24 short, and I was too tired to start another folder. However, I will finish the 24 pieces today, so that I can say I made 400. This was a good challenge to get done, this was difficult paper purging, it required thought, so I'm happy to have it out of here!
