This morning I'm sorting through many of the papers I brought home from work over the last few years. A lot of it is to be recycled or shredded, some will go back to the office. I expect that in early July our reorganization will be complete and I'll be working at the office most of the time, so I need to get all of this out of my house.
The stack of paper on my secondary work surface is getting lower. I've weeded a lot of my old academic stuff - when I look at it and have no interest in revisiting the topic or in reacquainting myself with all of the background material to bring myself back up to speed, it's time to toss it. I have moved on to different intellectual pursuits. Holding onto everything can slow down that forward movement.
