Declutter mail?!

Question

Hiii.. I just want to say off the bat that I have ADHD, bipolar and anxiety. 
How do you guys declutter mail? I have mail that I never throw away bcus I think it’s important and then never look at it again. 
I have so much trouble and I think I’m a hoarder. 😵‍💫😵‍💫 I don’t want to be but def feels like hoarder tendencies. 
How do you guys manage and keep your space deckuttered? My daughter is starting to be similar and i want to teach her differently.

Answer

I have a giant filing cabinet in my office I store mail in long term. I use a one or two gallon zip lock bag and label it “month/year” and keep it in our junk drawer. I put all of our “important” mail in it, bank statements, bills, paystubs - whatever. Anything junk or promotional type things gets pitched immediately. Then at the end of the month I file that months bag away. Throw away/burn after 3 years. Only things I keep for 7 years is taxes. Labeling it by month makes it super easy to find if need be. If you don’t have a filing cabinet and or office you could store them in a tote in your basement!

Answer

I keep anything tax related, but past that nah, if it was an important bill/ HCAP i take a photo of it so i have it if needed

Answer

We have electronic / paperless for all of our bills, tax stuff goes in the file cabinet, junk mail doesn’t even enter the house. It goes right into the recycling from the mailbox.

Answer

If you have a scanner on your printer or if you download Google drive on your phone you can scan anything you think is important, save it in a Google drive folder then shred and recycle all of the paper mail.

Answer

Same here.. only it’s my husband that’s the hoarder. He gets mad at me for throwing mail away, so we have piles of mail tucked in drawers and it’s affecting my anxiety.
