Paper-holics Anonymous

I continue making progress in my “den.” I’ve had a few off-days (I think maybe an off-week), but I’m back at it, spending 15 minutes a day decluttering the room that houses my computer.  I’ve now cleared off a portion of the sofa and can actually sit on it while I (continue to) sort and file.  The bad news is my file cabinet is overflowing.  The next step will be to go through files and throw out a lot of  stuff, but that’s a ways down the road.

I’ve discovered I’m a paper horder.  You wouldn’t believe the amount of notebooks and notepaper I’ve found.  Loose leaf 3-ring binder paper, those 5×7 spiral notebooks, the little spiral notebooks that fit into your purse, stacked notepads held together by adhesive, list-size notepads, tabbed notebook paper, graph paper, magnetic notepads that can attach to the refrigerator, stationery, stock paper (for formal correspondence), business card paper, self-adhesive envelopes that have lost their adhesive, and a “wheel book.”  The only type of paper I haven’t found is a steno pad.  But I’m only about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way through the room, so there’s still a possibility of finding one.

I doubt I will ever have to buy another piece of paper as long as I live.
