Mailbox zero: My yearslong struggle to eliminate snail mail from my life

Mail – who needs it? Not me. And for 13 years I’ve been locked in an endless battle to keep my mailbox clear of any unwanted correspondence.

The struggle has paid off: I now receive roughly four pieces of mail a month. Most days, my mailbox is blissfully empty. When I do receive correspondence, it’s usually a heartfelt, handwritten note or a wedding invite.

Now, I’m sure you’re wondering how you can achieve my level of zen postal state. I’m happy to share tips, but be forewarned. You’re about to enter a world of endless deception, where any misstep (like making a purchase online, or signing up for a credit card) can set you back years in your quest.
