Spring Clean Your Paperwork

Spring is a time for fresh starts - but instead of the traditional spring clean at home, why not tackle your paperwork? Sorting and organising your documents can save stress later and make life a lot easier.

Tips for a clutter-free system:

• Keep only what you need: Important documents like wills, insurance papers, and medical records.
• Digitise where possible: Scan or photograph important papers - it’s safer and easier to search.
• Use clear folders or labelled boxes: Make it easy to find what you need quickly.
• Set a review date: Once a year, go through your files and recycle anything outdated.

A little time now can save a lot of panic later — and it feels surprisingly satisfying!
