"Get over it!"
~Ideas from LIFE'S Too SHORT to Fold FITTED SHEETS by Lisa Quinn

Is your house beginning to look like a Where's Waldo book?

  • Choose quality over quantity.
  • Keep sorting, eliminating, dumping and organizing.
  • As you see results, you will be motivated to keep going.
  • Traditional toy boxes are black holes.  The smaller toys settle at the bottom. Get the kids a few bins and sort by categories.
  • Kitchens are notorious for having redundant appliances, gadgets and food items.  Unless you are Wolfgang Puck, there is no reason to have three food processors and eight spatulas.
  • Are you hoarding items that you may need one day?
  • Do certain items have sentimental value but you don't want them out in plain view?  Take photos for memory's sake.
  • Place two large bins, baskets or bags in your home.  Label the containers "Throw Out" and "Give Away"  Take five minutes a day to find items you no longer need.  When containers are full, throw out or put in your car.
  • Paid too much for something?  Embarrassed to admit you made a costly mistake?  Keeping that item is another mistake.  Get over it.
