Smartphones and tablets may be taking over, but there's probably no shortage of paper in your home. There's a reason for that – the average adult receives 41 pounds of junk mail a year! Combine that with the papers you actually want to keep (like important tax documents and old bank statements), and you've got yourself a paper mountain.
It doesn't have to be that way! Clear the clutter and win back your desk space with these six tips:1. Opt out of junk mail. Unless you can only get your kicks from opening junk mail (which we doubt), it's time to opt out of it. If you have a smartphone, check out PaperKarma (available for both iPhone and Android). With this app, you simply snap a picture of the offending mail, and you'll be taken off of their list forever. If you'd rather keep your phone out of it, check out 41pounds.org. They'll "reclaim your mailbox" for $35 – a small price to pay for paper freedom!More ideas: https://brightnest.com/posts/six-easy-ways-to-reduce-paper-clutter-at-home
