Good records management is often built on small, repeatable habits rather than large initiatives. One useful habit is pausing to ask: “Is this information still needed, and for what purpose?”
This question supports better retention decisions and reduces unnecessary accumulation over time.
Reflection questions:
- Where does information tend to accumulate “just in case”?
- What makes disposal feel risky in your organisation?
Action:
Identify one area where disposal could happen more confidently.
