After reading some of your posts this week, I have started the simplifying process… But here’s a question for you. What do you do with all your books? Where do you keep a bookcase? My one bookcase down stairs is full, and I can’t seem to let go of more than I have.

Thanks!

Yes, that is why it is important to have a back-up. We have a back-up hard drive especially to prevent that.

I would caution scanning everything into your pc. My old pc crashed the other week, and nothing can be recovered. We have a safety deposit box at our bank for our most important papers or valuables.

This is not the first time I’ve had a computer crash on me, I never keep anything good saved on the pc.

Great post! I find that in most families (particularly larger ones), the area around the computer is the hardest to keep simple and organized, partly because so many people use it.

We scanned everything that was important but just taking up room, such as all our home purchase papers, insurance documentation, old statements, etc. Like I said, we just removed everything first and then slowly started filing back what we had to keep as hard copies and others were scanned and stored on the computer while others went to the recycling. Just work through one file at a time and you would be surprised at how quickly you can get it done! You could use the same technique for all those needs you mentioned as well!

We sold our old desk on craigslist and then purchased this one from IKEA with what we made off the other desk. Maybe you could try selling it?

We purchased this cabinet from IKEA…good quality but reasonable price.

What a blessing this post was to me! I was planning to sorting our computer desk this week and moving a lot of things to a file cabinet. These ideas are so helpful. I am really enjoying your series on simplifying!
