Well, I think I've finally come to a point where I realize, I don't need to save everything! Well not everything...of course! I started last week to clean and organize, while I looked at all of my belongings, I thought to myself, have I used this in the past year? Why am I saving this? I think sometimes when we are out shopping we may pick something up thinking "Oh I can use this someday, or "what a deal I have to get this shirt because its on sale." Now do we really need more shirts...uh yes, we're women...we always need more shirts....but....we will use the shirt, or bookcase that's on sale? So, here a few things I will be considering while I continue to clean this summer....
- Why do I own this?
- Have I used this in the past year...maybe even month?
- How much did this cost, is it worth even saving?
- If I throw this away or donate it, can I find in the store again if I reallllllllly need it?
- If I throw this away or donate it to charity will someone get more use out of it then I am right now?
Hopefully, some of my chatter of organization will get you to start looking at your belongings that are sitting there just gathering dust.
Happy Organizing and Good Luck,
