Part of my long term goals, besides becoming more equipped, is uncluttering. I've scanned any thing that is important enough that I wanted to keep and shredded the papers. I've switched anything paper from bank statements to bills to electronic to eliminate the paper coming in. I've sat down and decided if anything was worth having then it must be able to be taken should I need to leave my home, so anything important gets some soft of carrying bag, case, whatever so it can be easily transported and gets a space designated for it. Anything else I sell or get rid of.
