lol, two little wire baskets is not enough for me! BUT, I have learned not to leave the post office without tossing all junk mail. That keeps it from hiding in the corners of my house! What I really need is floor-ceiling shelving so I can park my teapot collection where I can see it.

Thank you!!!!! I think you just saved my life. This has got to be the clearest, easiest, most consice system I’ve ever heard for dealing with paper clutter. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Sort mail immediately! Don’t save anything but bills…..if you don’t have time to read it now…..You don’t have time! Just “STUFF” waiting to happen!

My husband and I have a bookcase in our office with a couple shelves that hold bins we sort mails and stuff into. There’s a bin each for recycling, shredding, and receipts. Then we each have an to-do inbox. My husband also has a separate bin for work-related stuff (since he has a lot more paperwork with his job than I do with mine). Then of course we have the garbage can. It works pretty well for us. We usually keep all receipts in the bin until it is overflowing, at which time we can safely figure out which ones we do need to keep longer.
