So, here is what I did to conquer the mail. I sat down and divided the mail into 4 categories: junk mail, coupons, magazines, and bills. I went through all the bills, took the bill out and placed it inside the return envelope---that way it would be easier for Dave to mail out the checks and file the paperwork. Dave takes care of the bills---some are handled online, yet some he still has to mail-in.
We already had a holder for our coupons (the mahogany organizer), so I just cleaned out all of the old stuff. As for the bills, tax stuff, and my stuff that will all be housed in folders in the white organizer (which I already had--but wasn't using). The white organizer will also house the medical receipts for deduction purposes. There is a basket (already had it) to hold all receipts. I, also, have a wicker basket (all ready had it, but wasn't using it) in my living room that will hold all the magazines.
So, now I think I'm ready to take on the mail. Unless, we get invitations---thank you notes---what will I do. I think I will just have to leave them on the table. Just kidding. I will just attach them to the cork board on the white organizer. Sweet.
I am going to call it a day. While I watch TV, I will sort some of my material. I will talk to you tomorrow. Until then...
This is me. This is my blog.

GOOD WORK.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Btw, thank you notes are read then go right into the garbage. No need to keep them, the task is done...
ReplyDeleteCool--I was hanging on to them as memorabilia to go into a scrapbook someday.
