35. I have been doing this for several years now

I get emails of the bills, then hop over to the bank's online page and pay the bill, set it to pay in time for it to reach the biller. Then delete the email.

Also, set up user id and passwords with all your regular payees; then you can look anytime at your bills. This can be very helpful
