Managing Mail
Jul 13th, 2009 by Cindy
Many of my newer clients have what I like to call ‘pile crisis syndrome©’ - It’s not pretty or necessary. Here are a few things you can do TODAY to stop this insanity:
- Use a letter opener
- Invest in a shredder
- Spend a few minutes each day OPENING AND LOOKING at your mail
- THROW OUT envelopes unless they contain time sensitive and/or legal documents (don’t stuff papers back into the envelope)
- Shred and recycle what you don’t want immediately - make sure to shred or ‘black out’ address information
- Flatten papers
- Get a step file
-
Start file folders with the following headers
- Immediate Action
- To File
- To Do
- To Read
- Taxes
- Projects
- Credit card / Applications
