junk mailAs we continue to try to reduce the amount of paper we have to deal with on a daily basis, think about the places where most of the paper make their way into your house. Other than through work and kids, most everything else comes via the mailbox. As we have discussed a few times, Evernote can help you deal with organizing that paper before it makes its way to the trash. What about the paper that you don't want at all? PaperKarma is a service that lets you take photos of your unwanted junk mail and take you off of company distribution lists. This service works on a lot of different types of junk mail. Download the app today and give it a try. As for the mail that you DO want to keep, look at Manilla. Manilla allows you to set up one stop location for all your online bills. You can access account info, due dates, amount due and even set up email reminders for most major credit cards, banks and subscription services. This is a great service to help clean out that inbox, that is if you haven't already signed up for e-statements, online bills and automatic payments from your banks and utility providers. For everything else, adopt a "deal with it once" system. Once the mail, work papers or school papers come into the home don't try to pre-sort or keep them somewhere for a major organization session. Deal with it once. Scan the documents you want to keep into Evernote, Dropbox, etc. Scan the junk mail into PaperKarma. Move any hard copies to their final destination and trash the rest. This will take some self policing, but will pay off in the time saved in the end. How is your paper less life coming so far?
