I recently got pulled over for making an illegal U-turn (whoops!) and discovered that my insurance card was out-of-date. Thankfully, the police officer was very nice and only gave me a warning. Since this happened, I decided that it was high-time to declutter my wallet. This is the perfect 10-15 minute goal to tackle and here's what I recommend.
(1) Take out all your receipts, lose coupons, etc and put them in 1-3 piles
(2) Go thru the coupon pile and weed out any coupons that are no longer valid
(3) Go thru the receipt pile and attach them to your bank statement for future reconciliation purposes
(4) Take out any unused store/credit cards to free up space & lighten your load
(5) Take out money and sort from largest to smallest bills
(6) Take out loose change and put in a piggy bank or put in jar to take to the bank or CoinStar machine
Doing this simple task will cut down on unnecessary clutter and help you to retain only current information. While you're at it, check your driver's license to see when it needs to be renewed. That reminds me, I have to put that on my To Do list too!
After you complete this task, reward yourself!
Happy Decluttering!
