I keep trying so many ways of dealing with it - and I do have a planner, but if it's not right under my nose, I forget to use it.

I always toss all of that right away, along with the envelope that the bill came in and, if I will pay the bill online, the return envelope for the payment. I cannot stand when there are piles of literal trash lying around.

It really cuts down on paper clutter. One thing I've started doing for the refrigerator is using page protectors to put some schedules or info that I want to keep visible. For example, right now one has the menus and kids chores on the front. On the back is our library events scheduled. The library events we want to attend are in my planner, but anyone can flip to the back to look at the schedule whenever they want.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192064538924964308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-52393810549899309082015-11-19T07:30:13.018-06:002015-11-19T07:30:13.018-06:00I'm a tosser where my hub is a keeper (he'...I'm a tosser where my hub is a keeper (he's also a keeper in the good way too!) When he opens mail, it'll stay on his desk for days whether it's actionable or not. He doesn't know what that rectangular receptacle is for. I only give him what he needs to open personally, and I go through the rest else we'd be up to our knees in flyers, catalogs and empty envelopes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-14324615578623166512015-11-19T06:30:25.650-06:002015-11-19T06:30:25.650-06:00Great tips!

I also take everything out of the envelope right after receiving it and throw the envelop away (if I need to keep things together I use binderclips or paperclips). It helps to notice if there's any mail I haven't opened yet and it makes the pile easier to manage.<br />I once helped someone sort a paper pile that was over a feet high, but there wasn't even half of it left once I sorted out all the trash and envelopes.
