When it comes to important documents, keep and organize them for the proper time. Then feel free to shred them!

Helpful paper organization resources:


Tax records should be kept for 3 years. Your monthly bank statements don’t need to be kept for more than 1 year (though you should be able to access them online anytime). Paycheck stubs should be kept for 1 year as well.

It’s really up to you how long you feel comfortable keeping your important documents. But for proper paper clutter management, be sure to keep them filed away neatly so you know where to find them in a pinch.
