Recycle this
I thought it might be hard to sort through the boxes, binders and folders of paperwork left from my years at Tri-C, but not really. In an hour or two I filled a big garbage bag destined for the recycling center.
When I've tried this in the past, it was hard to decide what to keep and what to throw away. I always figured I might need a form or minutes from an old meeting.
Retirement changes all that. I don't need any of it. Even if I go back and teach part-time, I'll start fresh.
It felt great to rid myself of twelve years of accumulated paper. My worktable is as clear as it's been in years, and I'm not done yet.
