1. 12 MONTHS TO SIMPLICITY-DEALING WITH PAPER (UGH!)
If there is one thing in this world that most
people would like to do, it would be stop the mail
from coming every day. Just when you think you have
a handle on your paperwork, another blob shows up
in
your mailbox.
So how do you keep up with it?
1. Open your mail daily. Don't let it pile up for
days
because it now becomes an overwhelming chore. Also,
open
your mail at the same time and place each day to
create a
routine.
2. Always open your mail over a wastebasket. This
can
quickly help to eliminate the junk mail. If you
find it
hard to part with junk mail because you might want
to look
at it later, realize that before it came, you didn't
miss it
so throwing it away will remove the pressure of
having to look
at it later.
3. Throw away the envelopes that come in the mail.
This
is half the volume and all it does is take up more
room.
4. Evaluate the wastebasket where you open your
mail. Is it
large or small? If it's small, get a bigger one.
The bigger
the trash can, the more you'll throw away.
5. Use a PaperConnect (TM) Tickler File to keep
track of your
daily action papers. For more information, visit
http://www.kreamerconnect.com/tickler_file.htm.
I compare handling your paperwork right away to
a hangover.
When you drink too much, you know you'll have a
nasty hangover.
When you avoid your mail/papers, you know you'll
have a ton to
contend with sooner or later, so beat the rush and
tackle it
daily!

3. IN CLOSING -- GIVE THE GIFT
So the holidays are long gone and you still have
those
gifts that you were given but hated. Is it acceptable
to
re-gift? I say yes. We have enough stuff in our
lives
that we do like. To keep those items that we don't
like
is just asking for clutter troubles.
If you are worried that the giver of the gift is
going
to make you produce the item in question, practice
making a
face that says, "I have no idea where that
is. My spouse (child,
nanny, housecleaner, etc.) must have done something
with it!"
Here's the secret...don't give the gift to the person
that
gave it to you :-)
Here's to simplifying your life!
Until April,
Patty
