Key Takeaways To Tune In For:

• [00:45] Paperwork in general is a problem for a lot of people. Especially where I live, in Israel, it is essential to keep all papers for a longer time than in most countries. 
• [03:25] I suggest having a digital copy of any important papers so that you can easily send a digital copy of any medical documents to any doctor more easily, and in case something happens, you always have a backup. 
• [03:34] In general a notebook or an accordion folder is very helpful for keeping all documents you may need on a regular basis in one spot and organized by the “type of document” category.
• [05:20] In relation to documents not related to health, it is worthwhile to go through these documents every once and a while to get rid of what you don’t need to hold onto. For example, after 7 years you can get rid of US tax information, but of course, this depends on what your documents are. 
• [05:46] If you’re in doubt whether or not to keep a paper, make a digital copy for yourself.
• [07:45] The Great Paper Purge
• [14:16] It is SO important to have a fireproof, waterproof safe to store all your important documents that are difficult or impossible to replace ie birth certificates, passports, a deed of a house. 
• [20:48] If sorting papers is holding you up, I suggest you designate 1 hour every day for as long as you need to go through all the papers and make sure that the papers are kept in an organized way.
