The best way to stay on top of the incoming mail is to sort it immediately. Sort it into the 4 categories listed below and have a specific spot for each category.

For example: use your shoe rack to help you determine how many shoes to keep. By only keeping the amount that will comfortably fit on the shoe rack you’ll be able to organize your shoes quickly and easily.
Removing the word ‘why’ lets us focus on the solution instead of the problem.
It’s good to acknowledge the problem, but the goal is to find a solution. By asking ‘why we have this problem’ we’re looking at the past and things that can’t be changed. By removing the word why, we’re looking to the future with new ideas and possibilities.
Example:
Why am I not good at organizing? vs. How can I develop my organizing skills?
Why did this room get filled up with clutter? vs. What can I do about this clutter?
Why does the clutter keep coming back? vs. How can I prevent this clutter from coming back?
