OMG... Mail.
So, I feel like I'm admitting failure by even asking this question (I'm supposed to be good at organization, it's sort of my job), but what do you do with all your MAIL?
If you're anything like H and I, you receive a pretty steady onslaught of junk, but also bills and such that need to be kept. I've tried different ways of organizing, but it always ends up in piles distributed about the house.
Success stories would be fantastic.
Re: OMG... Mail.
We get tons of mail - a few weeks ago I complained about the number of cc offers we get each day - yuck!
When I get the mail, while I am at the mailbox I immediately sort it into a pile to keep and a pile to trash. CC offers and magazines (like VS and PB) go immediately into the dumpster outside. Nearly everything we receive goes into the trash. I put my bills in my purse - when I get to work the next day, I schedule the bills online, then shred them.
As far as insurance stuff we receive or other keepable stuff that isn't bills, I file them again. I do this before I do ANYTHING else when I get home from work.
I wish I had words of wisdom. I have a basket in my office for my mail, and I always drop off H's mail in his office. What he does with his, I don't know. I open anything that might be a credit card offer, or something that is personal, and put that on the shred pile. H goes through that from time to time and does a big shred job. The other junk I just toss. I keep medical stuff and anything important and go through from time to time and organize/file as necessary.
Buy a decent one too - don't be cheap on the shredder or it will make your life miserable.
What she said! A good shredder is a happy thing.
LOL. Yesterday we received a cc offer for my husband's sister. I was like WTF???
Once in awhile I'll get some AARP thing for my dad (who died over four years ago) or my mom, with her first name misspelled. Yup.
