13. Mail
Since 1/3 of the mail we get is junk open your mail over the trash or recycle bin. Don't keep what you don't need. Opent he bills and throw out the inserts. Enter dates into your calendar right away. Make the habit each day of throwing the newspaper in the recycle bin before bringing in the new paper.

14. Magazines
Use the rip-and-read technique when looking at magazines. The first time through rip out articles that are of interest and staple. Put in your To Read Folder in your Command Center and the next time you're traveling or going to the doctor's office take your To Read folder with you. Throw away when you're done or pass on to someone else.

15. Magazines
Designate a basket for the magazines that come into your home. Have the rule that when the basket is full no new magazines are added unless some in the basket are given away or discarded. If you don't have time to read the magazines that come each month cancel your subscriptions. You will survive!
