    FAQ
    What paper format should I use?
    Use Item | act/archive/recycle/review | note, such as RSVP form | act | sign and return Friday.
    Why does some paperwork move to keep or verify?
    Anything tied to legal, tax, financial, insurance, identity, housing, school, or health records should be kept until you verify the right retention rule.
    Can this tell me what to throw away?
    No. It can sort obvious low-risk papers, but document retention decisions should be verified when the paper matters.
    Is this useful for a mail basket?
    Yes. It is designed for mail piles, entry baskets, desk stacks, class papers, manuals, flyers, receipts, and mixed household paper.
