Open Mail Over Your Recycling Bin


Do you open your mail, look at it briefly, then put it aside to deal with later? I did before I was married, and it usually took days before I actually sorted/trashed/recycled the opened mail. Why not open your mail over your recycling bin? That way you can immediately toss anything that isn’t an action item.
