Conquer Your Filing Cabinets

Studies show that 80% of the items in a typical file cabinet are never used again! That means you could pare down at least 50 percent of what you're retaining. You don't even need to go that far, however; try to pare down 20 percent.

Why do you need to pare down? In a society that throws information at us at an ever-increasing rate, it's a given that more is coming. Condition your mind that this is so.
