MY INCOMING PAPER CLUTTER SYSTEM // How I Keep My Mail, Bills, & Receipts Organized

[@kimbucha2949]

Auto pay for bills and paperless options are a game changer! These two options have eliminated 95% of paper clutter for us. Most of the rest is typically junk mail.

Excellent tip!!

[@manonborst4769]

I never understand why people choose to ay bills manually that can be done automatically. Automated is so much easier and stops mail from getting in =)

[@diannes3804]

The best thing I’ve ever done regarding daily mail was to put a trash can outside (in my garage) so as I’m bring in the mail, I immediately toss all the junk mail and ads. It never even gets through the front door.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

LOVE that!!

[@lauriepayseur5897]

Ditto! Trash never comes in

[@diannes3804]

I should add that once the trash can is full, I empty it into the recycling bin. 👌

This was wonderful I usually feel like a hoarder with paper and no direction. This helps A LOT

[@kakylong2]

Great video. My Hubby cks the mail, hands it to me & then I go through, sort it out & pay the bills. Every wk or 2 we talk about anything dealing with bills or what's coming up that we need to address. I file everything into a file bin. It's super easy & works well for both of us.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Sounds like wonderful teamwork!

[@emilysmith2784]

We are paperless for everything so we get no bills in the mail. We also have a recycling bin next to the front door so any junk we do get goes right into the bin.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Yes yes yes!

I use the Sunday Basket and it saves me so much time and keeps me organized.

[@debbyjo123]

Me too!!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Love the Sunday basket concept!

[@debbyjo123]

@@SophisticatedOrganization it totally changed my life!!

[@cherjohn4149]

I really don't like paper, I keep paper at a minimum and get rid of what's outdated. Your suggestions are always on point Sophie.❤️

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

I totally agree!

[@manonborst4769]

I usually keep the junk mail on the take action pile. It serves as a reminder to call the company to ask them not to send me things. That way I might get the junk mail once, but at least not a second time. After calling it goes into recycling right away.

Hi Sophie, thank you for another lovely video! I’ve been following your channel and journey for just over a year now - it’s a joy seeing your videos pop up consistently. You are inspiring and I am always in awe at how much you can achieve every day 😊 (Loving your Day By Day series too). My son was born around two weeks after your Owen, so it’s fun to see how they grow so similarly. So happy for you! Following up on a few other comments here: going paperless and having organised digital storage works well for many of our bills, and in terms of junk mail we have a “No Junk Mail Please” sticker on our mailbox, so avoid all junk mail altogether. I live in Melbourne, so maybe that’s just an Australian thing?

Great video. I pretty much do these things except the one about writing down the dates for expirations. Thanks for that tip. I carry coupons in my purse & then let them expire bc they get lost. 🤪 I'm going to start being more intentional with that. Thanks for another great video, Sophie.

[@78Kimberli]

Excellent ideas and system you have in place!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@newyork21741]

Thanks Sophie

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thank you so much!

[@melanyvalentina6919]

I absolutely loved this video. So simple, yet so helpful. I am also OBSESSED with your calendar. The minimalist look combined with the extra large writing zones of your calendar...These are SO hard to find...would you happen to have a link / or brand for the calendar by any chance (please) ? I got to get one for myself ❤️ 🙏

[@SillyMando2008]

Just wait until Owen is in school. 🤣

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Haha oh all of those school papers will need a whole new system I'm sure 🙈

[@chooleeng7761]

Good tips👍

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Glad you think so!

[@evalindell2757]

Brilliant! ❤️

What does your husband do with bills after he paid them?
