As far as old paperwork goes that gets 'filed' for years, invest in a scanner! Or if you have one at your work, stay back for half an hour once a month and use it. If it's just paperwork, it doesn't have to be a state-of-the-art, all-singing-all-dancing scanner. You just have to be able to read it...assuming you ever really need to look at it again.

You might not be keen to go back through your old bank statements etc but if you pick a point in time and start from there, it only takes a few minutes per week and you can throw the paper out or shred it if it's sensitive. It also means you can keep a backup of it in a second place.
