What's this?

Kinda did the pile thing today create one big pile then sort

so basically triage: 1) shred, 2) pile 1: paper pads remove all the work notes/onsey and twosey deal withs, 3) Some binning: financials, instructions for the various devices I have around the house, eg, printer instructions.

Binning just means I put all the stuff in one box so I need to get down to the binning stuff and triage that out eg, travel, pick a couple places you might go to in the next year or two and throw everything else out. Finances might be to put monthly statements into big notebook. (Also, been combining my retirement plans from over the years...simplify) I suppose "binning" is creating piles. I've been busy.
