Please complete any of the following statements:

I struggle with paper clutter because I am terrified of losing information I have researched or created, information that has been copied to my untrustworthy computer, and confusing papers sent by agencies. I also reuse all kinds of paper that comes into my house (and plenty comes in, in spite of my not taking any magazines or catalogues) for craft projects.

I would have an easier time managing paper if only I could make decisions
Tell us about your most treasured paper item.I have carbon copies of the letters I wrote to friends on a manual typewriter some 50 years ago along with little drawings of things I want to build or sew, even quite a few house plans I designed. They are sweet memories and dreams; snippets of life in a world so different from today's. I think they help me remember who I really am.
