1986 previous 1 magazine that I really wanted to read, but it's from 2005 1 group blank deposit slips 10 miscellaneous papers 2 envelopes addressed to me, both empty 1 pair blood donor ID cards 1 plastic bag 1 packet benefit choices from 1998 2003 so far
17 to go
I'm not used to working this late! I did not throw away the envelope to the Tooth Fairy, which probably has a note and baby teeth inside. Some of this is surprisingly hard, which must be why I generally avoid these boxes.

2013 previous 10 magazines 1 semi-annual report 2024
That's all for now. I will restart on January 2nd or 3rd, and see if I can get rid of stuff daily in 2021.
Thank you to all who were so encouraging!
creativechaos, keep up the good work. Hope you dig up some more paper that does not need to be in your space!

wooo hooo goldenthreads! congratulations and happy new year! i'm slowing down. still have 62 more to do and 1.5 hrs to do it but i'm in brain fog.
1958 - 62 more to go to make 2020. place holder post.
34 more papers in recycle. total: 1992 2020 minus 1992 = 28 things left to go to make 2020
going to count receipts... will keep sorting papers but i have lost executive function. not counting trash or emails so... 25 minutes to find 28 things to discard or recycle.

Hi, magda! Glad to see you here. You've done a lot, and gotten rid of some bulky items, too!

i made it over 2020 finally. got rid of 34 more papers; some only small pieces with bits of information scrawled on them. seems that getting rid of any information i "might" need is agonizing for me so i still have boxes of papers. final total, even though it's now 2021, was 2040
