Go through my mail

I came up with a new rule to help me with this resolution, and I thought it was pretty ingenious, thankyouverymuch:

When I walk in the door, I cannot take my coat off until I have opened and sorted all my mail from that day.

I’m not sure how this will work come summer when there are no more coats, but hopefully by then I’ll already be in the habit and will have crossed this off my list long before.

I finally went through my mail drawer (since I wasn’t really able to actually close it anymore) and filed the important papers and recycled the rest. It was a little ridiculous how quickly I was able to do it. Now if I can just start doing this every day before it has a chance to pile up…

Hooray for getting things done!
