After four months of scanning papers and photos, I finished the last pile. I’m so glad to do something else. All told, I scanned 5,300 items. I had no idea that I had so much paper in my life.
The funny thing is that I didn’t know I had most of the paper and probably could have just tossed it. However, it felt safer to scan it first because I have no idea what the future holds.
I have a new process so that I’ll never have to do such a large scanning job again. All the cards and letters that I receive I put in my inbox. At the end of the month, I scan them and save them with my digital photos from the month. Most months, I only have to scan five or six items. Simple and fast.
So what’s next on my decluttering list? I have a ton of tools to organize and two storage rooms to go through with the Hubby. It’s a good thing I’ll have more time now that the scanning is done.
