What better clutter nemesis to hone in on next than household paper piles?
Many of you have told me that paper decluttering is at the top of your To Do list. So I’ve put together a handy dandy list of 10 No Brainer categories of household papers that you can remove from your life during the decluttering process.
THE PAPER DECLUTTERING TOSS LIST
As always, my first piece of advice for tackling your decluttering project is to start for the low-hanging fruit. Well, it doesn’t get any more “low-hanging” than junk mail. In fact, my advice is to not even let junk mail come into your house in the first place.
Set up a system for managing mail that includes a method for weeding out the junk mail and tossing it as the first step.

Great list, but don’t toss those Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupons! They will still take the expired ones. And they will take as many coupons as you have items/dollar sales to cover! Put them in an envelope in your glove compartment so you always have them with you when you stop there!

Ha! Yep, spot on Andrea. I never toss those!
