You've Got Mail...Or Have You?

Did the postman stop by your place today?  Anything interesting in your mailbox?  Remember those days when you used to receive written letters, birthday and greeting cards in the mail?  Do you still do?  Well, the internet and mobile communication has certainly changed this.  All I receive in my mailbox these days are bills, catalogues, promotional flyers and offers on everything from insurance and travel right down to solicitations for donations from people and companies I've never even heard of.

Most of the time, when I sign up for services or memberships or buy select items, I would always remember not to tick the Send me promotional offers and updates from affiliate companies or such box.  But one way or another, these unsolicited mails still magically find their way to my mailbox.   And most of the time, what happens is.. one glance and in it goes to the rubbish bin or recycling collection box.  Imagine how much that would accumulate to within one month or one year.  What a waste of paper, yeah?  

Is there any solution to get rid of this unwanted mail?  Sure there is.  Well, for one, when filling in any application forms, always remember to let them know No thanks, please!  I don't want any of your catalogues or offers!   Better still, don't sign up for anything at all.  Too extreme?  Well, OK..here's a real solution for you.  Check this out.. here's one way you can clear your junk mail blues, reduce clutter, save paper and get only real mail you want in your mailbox.
