I had one of those organizers that sorted by type, and I used it a lot.

Yeah, my problem is that I save paper when I don't have much space. I'm so good about other things. One issue is that I am involved in a lawsuit due to a boat accident 4 years ago. We were hit and, although my claim is not that big, it's part of some other really complicated cases, so the amount of crap I get from lawyers is unbelievable. I have no idea what I should keep or what I can safely throw away, and that is the bulk of it.
