Mail-Organizing Checklist

You've got (too much) mail. Tackle those persistent piles of paper with these mailbox-managing strategies.

• Create an in-box. Designate something as a mail in-box, such as a pretty basket or tray. It can be anything that will hold about a week’s worth of mail, but no more than that.
• Set up a recycling bin. Place a recycling bin or trash can near the in-box, so you’ll have a place to throw all the junk mail that you don’t intend to open.
• Buy a shredder. Consider a paper shredder to dispose of documents with personal information and account numbers. This will help reduce the risk of identity theft.
