Papers, Bills and Junk Mail! How to Organize and Simplify Your Life - 1 of 3
I confess that I love papers and working with them comes easy to me. I love receiving, processing, sorting and filing them in neatly organized and labeled colored files.
I know, I'm a sucker for papers and it has to be the lawyer in me, that enjoys it. However, I recognize that most people dislike it deeply, some aren't good at it and that most homes are flooded by paper, unwanted mail and paying bills is a chore that most dread.
Here are the good news and easy ways to stop mail before it comes into your home, simplify how papers flow and how you pay your bills.
Today let's take care of the worst part of it. Yes, you guessed it right!
