Always Be De-Cluttering.
A shirt falls off a hanger and when you pick it up you realize you haven't worn it in ages and it has a stain. Turn it into rags, or toss it. Now.
You get frustrated because you can't close the gadget drawer in your kitchen easily. Find three duplicate tools and put them on Freecycle. Now.
Your birthday comes and you get a stack of great new books
. Make room for them on the shelf by taking a few you are done with to the used bookstore. Now.It's simple. It's constant. You don't have to think about it very hard.
Always Be De-Cluttering.

That's a very good mantra, Lelah. Now, if I could only DO it. Heehee.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of looking at it as a mantra. Repetition and practice helps it become action.
