I have an important action file in a desk drawer, and a vertical file on top of the desk with three slots, one "mail box" for each person who receives mail here. No one else is allowed to bring in the mail unless they place it directly into my hand. Lost mail is a serious disruption. I never set it down until it is sorted. Some mail goes into the trash. Mail for others goes into the appropriate mail box, and mail that I need to respond to is put in my action file. Later actions include paying bills, responding to requests for information, or just filing in my permanent records files. Other people check their "mail boxes" every time they drop by and use these mail boxes to send messages or items to others. That way I'm not always the middleman.<\/div>\n<\/div>
