Autism

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.
