Important Documents Though most piles of papers can be fed to the shredder almost immediately, there are some documents you'll need to keep throughout your life. These include personal documents, such as your birth certificate, social security card, health records, marriage license, and the deed to your home. Tax documents and other financial papers should usually be kept for at least seven years before discarding.

Handwritten Notes In this digital age, physical letters, cards, and messages are becoming increasingly rare. For this reason, personal notes from those near and dear to you can be good to hold onto. While this doesn't mean that you should keep a backlog of every birthday card you've ever received, reserving a few meaningful messages is a nice way to remember the people in your life.

Photos of Friends and Family Photographs are one of the few ways we can capture the past and remind ourselves of the people, places, and things we love. Old pictures are irreplaceable mementos that should be preserved and shared with family members who may be interested in ancestors they've never met. Keeping shots that reveal your life's story is a simple way of sparking joyful memories that might otherwise be forgotten.

Leftover Wall Paint You're never truly finished with a can of paint, even after the final coat dries. High-traffic rooms are prone to wear and tear, meaning they'll need to be repainted or touched-up every few years. Save yourself the headache and transfer remaining paint into smaller, air-tight jars labeled with the color name, number, brand, and what in your home is painted that color. Then, ditch the empty, bulky paint cans to save space.
