I am with you on the paperless thing. I am so sick of getting all the paper statements in the mail. But yet, I still haven’t taken the simple steps to get them stopped… Ok, ok, I will add it to my to-do list

I definately need to come up with a better way to handle my mail. I’ll get statments in and keep some here and some there. I have a pile of “important” stuff, then I make a pile of “less important” stuff, and finally I have a pile of “least important” stuff.

The sad thing is that it is all still important mail and it all requires my attention so my goal will be to quickly address each item as it comes in the mail and take the appropriate action with it immediately.

I believe it was Trent from TSD that said he trys to only touch his statements once. As soon as he makes the commitment to “read” the mail, he doesn’t stop until all items have been properly dealt with.

I definately need to come up with a better centralized filing system. I’ll get statments in and keep some here and some there. I have a pile of “important” stuff, then I make a pile of “less important” stuff, and finally I have a pile of “least important” stuff.

I would probably cut my 5 credit cards and use just one instead. This will make it easier for me to keep track of my expenses.
