Good morning everyone!! It's a new week and a fresh start! This morning my quick tip to you has to do with the mail and the incoming box that I talked about last week.
I feel like a lot of people I talk to and a lot of what I have seen has to do with when paper comes in to the house it gets put anywhere and does not get sorted through. Thus, paper piles up everywhere. Usually the mail is one of the last things you get before walking in the door after a long day. At that point, usually all that is wanted is comfy clothes, a comfy couch and some food. I personally come home and have to just sit for a while before I am really able to do anything. Mail and other paperwork normally gets put on the first surface that you come in contact with right? Then it stays there until you can deal with it, no matter what "it" is. It could be junk mail, bills, paperwork, anything.
When you get the mail from your mailbox, the first thing you want to do is throw away any junk mail. Ask yourself, is this something I need? If not, trash (or shred) it goes. This should already clear out a number of pieces of paper. If you are not ready to deal with the paperwork and bills, in the incoming box it goes. The incoming box (as we talked about last week) should be somewhere right off your entrance.
By doing this extra simple step, you should see a lot less paper coming into your home, as well as a single location for the paper that does come into your house. Remember, the incoming box should be emptied once or twice a week depending on what your needs are.
