"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.
