Happy Friday y'all.
Home sellers are always asking me about solutions to their clutter. I'll share a tip with you that I started when I worked in a busy office.
Create a Friday File.
Go through all of your mail the day it arrives.
Open the first class mail and deal with it.
You are DONE until Friday!
Place magazines, periodicals, catalogs, junk mail-ANYTHING that is not first class mail, into a basket or box--a Friday File.
Every Friday specify a time to sort through your Friday File. Have a trash can, recycle bin and shredder close by.
Recycle junk mail and throw away anything that can't be recycled.
Place items you want to keep: charitable contributions, coupons, special offers, etc. in a separate pile or folder. Take care of these items at the end.
It's Friday, so you can retrieve those magazines and catalogs! I think you will find it is fun looking forward to devouring their pages. It really is more efficient and rewarding than thumbing through mags and cats quickly when they arrive.
Hope you find the Friday File tip helpful!
What a great idea to get all that clutter off my bar
