Can in coursework/notes

Options
I have recently scanned in all my physical paper e.g. bills, invoices, letters etc negating the need for a fileing cabinet.

I have lever arch files full of course notes and coursework from university. It would probably take months for me to scan all of this in one page at a time.

What do other students do with old course notes and coursework? In my case it is 10 years old.

    Bin. Unless there's something relating to your job or current life but unlikely, things change a lot in 10 years. I wouldn't even bother going through it. As with everything else, if you haven't needed it in 10 years then straight to bin.
  • bin. why would you keep them...10 years is a long time

    Please note forum police I suffer from dyslexia so my spelling and grammar can be dreadful- sorry but I cant help it!
  • I'm still in uni and have already binned some 1st year stuff I know I'll never need again.
  • Unless you have your heart set on keeping it all for sentimental reasons I would just bin it. I'm guessing in those 10 years you've never needed to look at any of it? Get rid
