In the military, we move a lot! Usually every two or three years or so. If you don't already know about the web site: http://www.emilitary.org/rel2.html, then you should check it out. There are lists for everything related to moving.
Did you know ... that "according to a study conducted by a Boston marketing firm, the average American burns up 55 minutes a day - roughly twelve weeks per year - looking for things they know they own but can't find."
Wow! The next time you express your unhappiness about not having enough time to do the things you want to do, think about how much time you've wasted in this area.
The culprit? Procrastination, plain and simple!
Let's get started! Ask yourself these three questions as we embark on the decluttering process: First, will I use this? Second, does this item bring enjoyment to my life? Lastly, where does this item live in my house? These can be worthwhile questions when trying to decide what stays and what goes.
Over the next ten days I will give you Ten Tidy Tips to help you get started toward decluttering and organizing your home: Remember ... our homes didn't get messy in a day, and they are NOT going to get clean overnight.
Tidy Tip Number One: Try this - go through a room of your choice, or maybe even your closet, and get rid of ten things you haven't used or worn lately. Simple right? Well, come back tomorrow for tidy tip #2, and let's see how you did?
Spend 20 minutes cleaning one area of your home today ... just one area.
*It's easy to forget what belongs where, or to whom. Put a return address label on anything that you loan out so that it can be identified as belonging to you!
