Last week, I spoke about taming the paper monster. This past Saturday, I began to put my plan into action. A good portion of my Saturday afternoon was spent shredding. Months and months of shredding.
The good news? The shredding is up-to-date. Now it is up to me to be consistent and make sure to shred each weekend. A side benefit of doing all that shredding is that I used the time while the shredder was cooling down to clean out my email inboxes!
A few hints about what to shred:
Boarding passes -- Don't ever leave your boarding passes in the trash. They are encoded with your personal information...always shred!
Catalog and magazine address labels -- These also have personal account information encoded within the label...always shred!
Credit Card and Loan Offers -- This one is pretty self-explanatory...always shred!
Receipts Paid with Debit/Credit Cards -- Anything that has even a single digit of a debit or credit card must be shredded!
Receipts Paid with Debit/Credit Cards -- Anything that has even a single digit of a debit or credit card must be shredded!
Don't be like me and let it pile up. Get a home office shredder and keep up with the shredding on a weekly basis. Probably the most important tip of all!
Love,
Jerri
