Junk Mail

Your goal for handling junk mail is to only deal with it once. If you decide it´s junk, don´t set it down again to deal with it later. Ideally, you want to have either a wastebasket or recycling bin near the place where you read the mail. I´ve read tips suggesting that you read the mail outside so that you don´t even bring that junk mail in the house. But to people who live in cold climates (like me!) this isn´t very appealing. My solution was to keep a recylcing basket in the kitchen, the room I enter first when coming home and retrieving my mail.
