Day 17 on My Organizing Challenge

I'm a bit behind in posting my daily challenge I'm taking from..

 

A Bowl Full Of Lemons

I was waiting to get pictures up but my camera is still not working.  If I could just find my charger. I know it's somewhere under some paperwork, buried on my (school) desk.  This is the reason I'm taking an organizing challenge!  Life would be easy if I knew where everything is at.

On to Day 17...the challenge is the mail station.

Since I don't have any pictures to share, I thought I would just share a few ideas.

1. Create a IN box...

I personally like to sort my mail in a pretty sorter.   I wait until the end of the day to deal with the bills, junk mail, magazines, and sometimes even a handwritten note from a friend..but mostly junk.

2. Have a place for magazines and catalogs...

{ Crate & Barrel }

3. Create a file for bills, things to read and to file...

4. Recycle and Shred unwanted papers...

{ Office Depot }

5. Set up a file system for bank statements, paid bills, medical and other important information...

I like to keep my papers in a binder. Look how pretty this one is.

All those pretty organizers live on top of my nice clean desk...challenge day 2!

Wouldn't you love to sort your mail here....
