It’s happened enough times that it’s become a joke: It’s not Office Spa Day unless someone breaks a shredder.

All that vigorous cleaning and the poor shredders don’t stand a chance!

Why shred in the first place?

Besides the fact that I live in the identity-theft capital of the U.S.? It’s just smart.

What is currently working well for me:

We own a shredder. That’s a good start. Technically, it belongs to Inspired Spouse, but I do occasionally use it. Yup.

(I’m fishing… can you tell?)

What I’m currently working on:

Everything else. I know I should shred things like account numbers and checks and stuff, but I tend to err on the risky side, I’m afraid.

The shredder lives in Inspired Spouse’s office, not mine. So I have to (ungh!) get up from my desk to use it. I’d rather recycle.

How do YOU do your shredding?
