It doesn't matter. Don’t layer the materials. Mix them up. As long as you have sufficient moisture the paper will rot. Grass clippings and kitchen waste are helpful, being quite wet.

i collect kitchen waste in a plastic trash bin under my sink (no plastic bag necessary) and layer the shredded New York Times on the bottom and on top of the kitchen scraps each day. This solved my fruit fly problem. There’s also no odor. I empty it every few days.

I like your method kitasei,I toss individual sheets on grass I'm about to mow and catch the mix in catcher. If I don't have grass to mow when I want to shred paper,I just scatter some twigs with the sheets. That seems to help prevent matting. If a bin doesn't lend itself to turning,I stick thumb size and larger limbs in here and there as material is added. When I feel the material has settled and could benifit from stiring and airation I pull a limb out.

Hello dirt and floral. My kind of folks for sure taking things as they are dealt. When people ask what they can do about animals digging in compost I love telling them how old-dirt handles them. LOL
