Paper piles up because every sheet carries a decision. This course installs the three-tray system — Act, File, Shred — then works through what UK households genuinely need to keep, for how long, and what can go today. The second half moves online: a scanning habit, a folder tree that mirrors your trays, and a naming pattern that makes every document findable in seconds.
