After paying at a till, I used to rush. I would stuff everything in my wallet. I’ll deal with that later, thought I. Thing is, it takes an extra couple of seconds to deal with things on the spot, but much longer to deal with it all later. Plus, if you let your wallet get cluttered up, every time you open it, you’ll get that nagging feeling that oh right, you need to clear it out at some point. One more thing for the to do list.

Simple Fix: Never Put Receipts in Thy Wallet.

My wallet is an exclusive club that only the most fabulous and important cards are allowed to occupy.

I have built the habit of disposing of receipts on the spot, or stuffing them in my bag, which I do clean out after each use. Keep it simple!
