Donna's Tip:
To help you eliminate unwanted items, pretend you are moving and ask yourself if you'd take the item with you to your new home. If you won't use it there, or haven't used it in a year or so, donate it to a local charity where it will be given to a person who needs it much more than you do, and who'll be so thankful you let it go.
There are 3 ways to eliminate your unwanted mail. One - if there is a postage paid envelope, cross out your name on the mailing, write "remove from all mailing lists" and return that piece of mail in their envelope and mail back to them. Two - if there is an 800 or local phone number, call immediately and tell them to remove you from their mailing list. Third - mail a sample of junk mail labels to:
Mail Preference Service
Direct Marketing Association
PO Box 643
Carmel, NY 10512
asking them to put you on the "Do Not Mail" list they maintain.
Before going on a trip, create a draft travel list on the computer of everything you want to take, as well as tasks like 'dog to kennel' and 'buy new bathing suit'. Continue editing as you get closer to departure date. When you return from your trip, edit it again, especially to include items you may have forgotten initially or ideas you want to remember for your next vacation.
