Last night I went through ALL the bills and other mail and even some non-mail cruft that had accumulated on my desk in the family room. Sorted EVERYthing. Paid all items requiring payment. Shredded all items requiring shredding (shredment?). Put away everything that wasn't mail. Threw away everything of no value (this is usually hard - even those junk-mail CDs are fun to microwave). Made a big stack of everything that is no longer time-sensitive and just needs to be filed.
PHEW. The archaeological dig was a success. I can see my desk! And I'm caught up on even the piddly little bills, like magazine subscription renewals. Yay! That feels really good.

Same with me. It's always the last thing I can force myself to do, and even when I do it, only the easy stuff (things I already have folders for) gets done. I wind up making horrible little piles of "Miscellaneous" everywhere. It's a rare moment of beauty when I manage to look through a Miscellaneous stack, see a subgroup with a theme, and make a new folder.
