- Sort mail daily: Create three categories: action required, file, and recycle. Deal with each piece immediately.
- Use the vertical space: Mount your organizer at a comfortable height where everyone can reach.
- Add lighting: Consider a small LED strip or nearby lamp to illuminate the organizer in darker entryways.
- Regular maintenance: Once a week, clear out old mail, junk flyers, and unnecessary items to prevent clutter buildup.
