Try this
- Separate household mail from individually addressed correspondence before opening anything.
- Agree on who handles shared bills or notices and where they are kept. Leave personal letters to their recipient even if you usually sort mail together.
A worked example
“Let’s sort the household mail, then leave personal letters unopened.”
An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.
Before you leave it here
Do not turn a practical routine into assumed access to another person’s correspondence.
