The Dreaded Paper Pile

I have a bazillion inch paper pile to conquer. 

Here are some things which might be there, and my plan for them:

1. School papers
1. Art -- keep the A+ stuff, toss the rest
2. School work -- graded -- keep the one best from each kid and post on fridge, toss the rest
3. Report cards -- file all
4. Memos from teachers -- throw away outdated, keep newer ones
5. Field trip slips -- throw away outdated, keep newer ones, sign any that need it
6. Curriculum guides -- toss (info available online)
7. Other
2. Church papers
1. Bulletins -- toss all
2. Newsletters -- keep this month's, toss the rest
3. Kid papers -- toss all
4. Other
3. Papers from the mailbox
1. Bills -- put in bill file alphabetically
2. Statements -- put in bill file alphabetically
3. Junk mail -- toss or shred/burn
4. Coupons -- toss (I just can't keep up w/ them)
5. Letters from friends -- file
6. Other
4. Work papers
1. Notes to self & lists -- toss the obvious, put the others in my work tote bag
2. Reports -- same
3. Other items from the printer -- same
4. Other
5. Medical papers
1. Insurance slips -- file
2. Other -- file or toss
6. Books (don't ask) -- put in "Elsewhere basket"
7. Magazines -- put on magazine table (discard anything old)
8. Photos -- put in photo box
9. Other

UPDATE:  OK I got through most of the pile in just 10 minutes.  What is my deal?!!!  Why have I not kept up?  This wasn't too bad.  DO IT NOW.  :)  Very rewarding.
