July 3 - Toss the Pile of Junk Mail

Toss that pile of junk mail. You don’t have to read each piece. Only sort through, piece-by-piece, if you never pulled out important pieces of mail. Otherwise, toss it into recycling.

If you're concerned about security, tear off your address and throw that in the trash with coffee grounds or used kitty litter. Make a habit of regularly going through the mail – each day or on a set day of the week.

Remember, this is junk mail, so you don’t need to pay it much attention. You don’t need to read each solicitation or every catalog. If you didn’t request something, you will miss out on nothing.
