what to keep, what to purge?

hi everyone: after following the gtd planning system for a while, i'm finally doing the purge/reorganization (i know, more than a little backwards but i didn't have time before now). in any event, my question for all of you is this: i have kept every single receipt (grocery, bank, clothes, etc) i've received since 1995 (and i won't tell you how much space they've been taking up in my office!). i know i probably don't need all of them, if any. so, how do i decided which ones to keep? which ones to save? is there some kind of "rule" i should follow about the length of time receipts should be saved? any advice would be really appreciated. 5 Comments

As a former keep every receipter I now follow a similar routine as Paul and Berko. Basically if its something that I might need the receipt for (large purchases that would require the receipt for warrant/return/etc purposes) I keep the receipt. If its for gas or groceries or a restaurant then I wait for it to hit my bank and to the shredder with it. » POSTED IN:
