What's after clothes and books? PAPER! Here are 10 Decluttering Tips from Marie Kondo's best-selling 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up' to help you discard all those old documents that have been dragging you down!

Here are the 10 points I covered in this video:

1. Discard (almost) all papers, using the KonMari method (gather all documents in entire home together, then hold each one and ask if it sparks joy to decide to keep or donate/recycle/discard).

2. Stick to the category: Paper!

3. Put nostalgic items and photos aside for when you go through those items in the final KonMari decluttering category.

4. Avoid complex filing systems.

5. Don't shop for containers; discard clutter first, then use what you have to store what sparks joy. She particularly likes shoe boxes and Apple product boxes.

6. Use binders for frequently used items.

7. Discard lecture materials. Paradox: "Because we hang on to such materials, we fail to put what we learn into practice."

8. Thoughts on processing credit card statements, warranties, checkbooks, greeting cards, pay slips.

9. Discard cancelled checks. Plus: My cancelled check secret for motivating myself as an entrepreneur/freelancer.

10. By handling each item, you process your past.
