We all get a lot of mail. Some of us get too much mail.
And much of it is considered JUNK MAIL!! So I've got some easy steps to minimize the amount of unwanted mail that comes into your home:
To stop all the unwanted catalogues go to this website http://www.catalogchoice.org/
It's so easy, even you can do it!
Next, to stop all those credit card applications go to https://www.optoutprescreen.com/opt_form.cgi
To opt out of ads or informational mailers go to https://www.dmachoice.org/dma/member/regist.action
There's also a National Do Not Call Registry at https://www.donotcall.gov/
This allows you to opt out of telemarketers calls
This will cut down on the amount of mail you receive so that stops the clutter before it enters your Home. Though you may still receive some catalogues, junk mail or phone calls for a while, it eventually stops. However, some things still get through, like survey or charitable donation requests and political campaign ads. But it's a Really good start.
May I also recommend keeping a shredder near the area you read your mail or pay your bills. Get in the good habit of shredding everything that has personal information on it. And recycle all the catalogues and informational advertisements. Resist the urge to lay it on your desk or kitchen counter, even "if it's just for awhile".
I hope these suggestions help you control the clutter in your home. Let me know how it's working.
