| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | What do you do with random paperwork/ notifications I try to toss but some might be useful in the future - I do use the bucket system for instance all 2025 paid bills go into one accordion folders with just a subset for insurance and medical bills in that accordion folder. I file statements too Maybe I need to put the random stuff in accordion with the paid bills. I just pick them up more than once because I’m not sure what to do with them. |
