Create a ritual around opening mail

Decide which items are shared logistics and which stay personal.

Try this

  1. Separate household mail from individually addressed correspondence before opening anything.
  2. 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.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
