I used to think I had some sort of obligation to my mail, then I realized I didn't. Now I'm ruthless. I own my mail, it does not own me.
There's a thing in the Hagakure about a warrior makes a decision in 7 breaths. I pay my bills the instant I get them. I keep enough in checking specifically for that. A "freedom fund" ... freedom from having to screw around with timing my payments against my paychecks etc.
The "semi-junk" I either handle immediately, or I discard because I know I won't look at it at all. Sometimes I keep "semi-junk" (why?) but it goes in a pile of only semi-junk. I ignore that til I'm tidying up.
