Use this guide when post and admin have been piling up for weeks or months and you are not sure what is in there. It is common and fixable. Have a clear table, a few boxes or folders, a pen, a notebook and your phone for looking up contact details.

Step by step

  1. Gather everything in one place

    Collect all unopened post, loose papers and notes from around the home. Do not open anything yet. Seeing the full pile once helps you plan the time you need.
