  • A big part of keeping your space manageable is reducing what enters it in the first place. While you can’t eliminate everything, a few small steps can significantly cut down on unwanted mail and calls over time.

    Stop Junk Mail

    If your mailbox is constantly filled with credit card offers, loan solicitations, and promotional mail, these resources can help reduce it:

    • OptOutPrescreen.com - Allows you to opt of pre-approved credit and insurance offers for 5 years or permanently.

    • DMAchoice.org - Helps reduce national advertising mail sent to your home.

    • USPS Informed Delivery - Let’s you preview incoming mail digitally so you’re not surprised by what arrives.

    (These services don’t eliminate all mail, but many people notice a meaningful reduction.)

    Reducing Unwanted Calls & Texts

    If you’re receiving repeated loan or spam calls, these steps may help:

    • Do Not Call Registry (donotcall.gov) - Registers your number to reduce legitimate telemarketing calls.

    • Carrier spam-blocking tools - Most phone providers offer free or low-cost spam call filtering.

    • Call-blocking apps - Some apps can identify and block repeat robocall patterns more effectively than manual blocking.

    (Note: Scam calls often ignore registries, but reporting and blocking helps reduce volume over time.)

  • In some situations, outside help can make a process faster, safer, or less physically demanding. Hiring support isn’t about doing less – it’s about choosing an approach that works for your situation.

    • Look for services that specialize in your specific need

    • Ask questions about pricing and scope before booking

    • Schedule help when it supports your progress, not before you’re ready
