    The test should be a single, rambling, five-page question and your score is the page number on which you give up.

      I have two right now, and they might as well be a pile, knowing my patterns. They will form a basis of a good big proper pile until I have a manic episode.

      No need for scanning. I have a binder where I neatly organize them, and currently they are all shoved under the binder so that the cats won’t play with them.

    I have a mail pile, but its a system. Whoever checks the mailbox sorts the mail by person. My pile is a sort of filing system.

    Once a week, I grab my side gig check, open and check the medical/ insurance mail for anything out of the norm (on the tail end of a workmans comp claim that generates a lot) the opened med and paycheck mail then go to the bottom of the stack, the junk mail gets tossed, and the stuff i dont need now, but might have to reffer to later (like bank statements) gets returned to the top unopened.

    If I need to refer back to the med/ pays stubs, they’re now separated out in chronological order. As are a year’s worth of bank statements if anything seems off with my accounts.

    Once a year, after I file my taxes, the bank statements get tossed, except the year end one, which goes into a filing drawer, on top of another pile, along with all that years’ pay stubs, major medical notes (like paid off ones, etc) the filing drawer holds 2 piles, that work out pretty well to ~5 years of important docs) so, whenever the front pile fills up, the back pile goes into the fireplace for burning, (since its now all 5+years old) the front pile becomes the back pile, and a new pile begins, ensuring im keeping 5+ years of importance documents, in chronological order.

    At some point maybe, nowadays it’s all just garbage so I feel like this is fairly common.

    Oh dam… I just did mine this week, and it took hours because its about 4 months worth. I do think it’s partially due to being depressed more since it’s mostly bills and I just avoid them.

    When I moved house, I put all the Very Urgent Mail into a separate pile and packed it into my backpack instead of a box.
    So I could go through it and do what needs doing before all the boxes are unpacked in the new house.
    The pile still sits on my desk untouched, it’s been 6 months, and my cat now sits down on it whenever she wants to be left in peace. She knows I’m not gonna go near that.
    I figure since no cops or court officers have shown up yet, it can’t have been that urgent after all.
