One of my personal goals was to get rid of 50% of my office paper before 2010. Today I started by going through boxes stored in my office closet. I had files going back to 1989! It was a trip back into the past dating back to the four previous firms that I have been connected. I am a pack rat by nature and many things were discarded quickly for fear I would reconsider. I am going by the theory, "If it means nothing to everyone else, it has no value." Of course I saved a few "gems", but so far I am proud. The bad news is, I have a long way to go!
I have been involved with many projects that would surprise my associates, but life is too short to burden them with my past.
