Cash in the mail yesterday! A check from Chase Southwest for the $69 annual fee we paid on a card we cancelled within the first two months. I also received an Applebee's gift card from a friend. It was her way of thanking me for helping her pack for her move. I will save the gift card for a night when I don't want to cook or a night out with my husband.
Do you save your receipts for items you purchase? I do. I wrote about how I keep them from taking over on
I sold an item on Ebay, as did my daughter. I also have three auctions ending today. Two have bids, so those will sell. I expect to list at least another three or four items later today.
Did you get any money in your mail yesterday? Are you still decluttering and organizing this month?

Since the research says 80% of retained paperwork is never needed again, I've focussed on the easiest way to manage the 20% with a criteria based on our past experience. We've found it efficient to slide product manuals into a page protector corralled in a repurposed 'D' ring binder with the receipt stapled inside the cover. When ever I add a new manual I try to purge any no longer needed.
Like you, I use plastic boxes [shelf #3] but find it helpful to keep, book-like standing on edge. Would you consider using different coloured lids as identifiers? For example, DH and DKs can always find the Christmas stuff as bins all have red lids or labels on red paper when bins are not practical.

I also like the way you deal with manuals. A file folder isn't always the best, but I find it is actually pretty rare to even need the manual for most things.
