"7
Ways to Leave Your Clutter"
by Barbara MyersEveryone has some degree
of clutter lurking at home. When you're tired of moving it around,
stepping over it, and losing important items in it, it's time to take
control of the clutter. What should you do with it? You have
seven options:
1. Dispose of it. Much of clutter is trash you either thought you would need or figured
you'd throw out later.
2. Put it away. about
half of the remaining clutter in most homes consists of items that
simply haven't been put away. Fill a laundry basket then deliver
the items to their proper rooms. avoid this clutter trap by making
things easy to put away and by enforcing a family "use it and put it
away" rule.
3. Donate it.
if you don't use it, it's not a treasured decorative item or memento,
and it's not a important piece of paper, get rid of it. Pass it
along to someone who can use it.
4. Refer it.
the novel you've been saving for Debbie, the recipe you copied for Aunt
Jan and the gloves borrowed from Mom need to be sent or delivered to
their rightful owners. Gather them and make your rounds tomorrow
5. File it.
Set up a "hold" file for wedding invitations and concert tickets (after
you note them in your calendar). Set up a "to file" file for all
important papers.
6. Fix it or have it
repaired today. Those buttons aren't going to sew
themselves. Either mend them or take them to a seamstress.
The same goes for the broken toys, watches and electronics.

7. Give it a home.
Everything else is something that belongs in your home but
you don't know what to do with it. Where DO you put extra
batteries and your kids' artwork? Designate a permanent place in
your home for each group of items you find in a clutter pile.
Simplify by making a list of items and where they belong.

Tips of the Month
October 2008
•
Place an errand basket by the door.
Fill it with film to develop, videos or books to return, or dry cleaning
articles to drop off.
•
Note the points you want to make in a
conversation before you pick up the phone. You'll stay focused and
keep the call shorter.
•
Replace equipment that doesn't work
well. A stapler or a three-hole punch that you have to struggle
with can be a real time waster.
•
Find a small container to hold party
supplies such as party hats, special napkins and birthday candles.
Store it in your basement or garage, and be sure to label it.
•
Organize your purse or
briefcase by using small make-up or plastic storage bags. Separate
health care items, make-up, office supplies and financial items.
•
Divide large storage areas into
smaller sections to avoid chaos. This works well in closets,
attics, garages and basements.
•
Do not over organize. Why keep
a separate file for each appliance warranty when a broad "Warranties"
file will suffice?
