While talking with a friend last week, she mentioned an organizing project that she finally got the chance to start working on. It was old paperwork that needed to be tossed out. When we talked a few days later, she said "Oh, I'm making progress and now I'm tearing up the sheets of paper." I thought, by hand? I figured she had a shredder, but didn't. I volunteered to bring my shredder over to save time and make sure the information could not be pieced back together. If there is one thing to add in the home office, it's a shredder. There are many on the market, but the one that shreds papers into tiny pieces are best.
Protect yourself from identity theft when organizing paperwork and getting rid of old documents no longer needed. Always shred those junk mail credit offers that usually come with an application. Don't let those fall into the wrong hands, shred them to pieces.
