Today I'll be talking about how I take care of my mail. This is the most efficient system for me.
I always open my mail at my desk in the office. I immediately recycle/shred any junk mail as I open it. Magazines then go in one spot, and I take care of as much short-term mail (bills to be paid, etc) as I can at once. This reduces the amount of clutter on my desk and the amount of time I handle each piece. I then put the rest in one of three folders on my desk: take care of soon, take care of later, or file. I check the "soon" file every 2-3 days, and the "later" file every week or so, as I have time, to make sure I stay on top of what needs to be done. Once a month, I go through the "file" folder and put everything in its appropriate file in the file cabinet.
Got any time-saving tips? Let me know!
