My goal is to get rid of the file cabinet completely and replace it with a small fireproof lockbox. Owner’s Manuals, Receipts, and School Stuff In order to do this, I have to sort through everything to toss the junk, and find the stuff that I really need to be keep. The first folder to tackle is the fattest most overflowingest folder of the bunch. Back when I first started this folder, circa 1990, it was a necessity. If I needed to know how to plugin all the various components of my home stereo system, I had to have the owner’s manual. General extraction error location es1 dream chronicles how to# Every couple of years I would weed that folder to remove manuals for items that either broke or were sold or donated. One little thing has changed since I started my owner’s manual file that has rendered it obsolete. Taking about 30 seconds to think it over, I realize that every time I need instruction on any object I own, I turn to the Internet. I flip through the folder just to make sure I don’t need anything from it, and then deposit the entire contents in the recycle bin.Īlmost every manufacturer of anything posts their owner’s manuals on the Internet.
I also have a rather large folder of receipts. There are only a few of these that I need. I mostly keep receipts for large ticket items in case disaster strikes and I need to replace them. Of course if it’s a home destroying disaster, those receipts won’t do much good if they also get destroyed. Going through the file, I find a bunch of receipts that are for inexpensive items and items I no longer own. I also find a number of receipts that were being held until the warranty ran out, which in most cases was many years ago.
Most of that folder goes to the shredder. Most of the bottom drawer ends up being junk that I don’t need to keep. I find lots of old school documents from our college days.
I find a folder of scholarly memorabilia in the form of elementary school report cards, achievement tests, and the like.
