Getting Organized

Even when you deal with removing declutter and paper from your home, you will still find papers and files that have been buried under something. Yesterday, I was sorting through an office tray at my son’s computer desk. In the tray were his books, notebooks, and DVDs for his math lessons. Underneath these, I found two of my file folders from 2004. After a quick review, I found that it could just be tossed in the trash. There was nothing of enough importance to keep or even shred with my shredder. It’s very freeing to get rid of clutter, and I am pretty efficient at getting rid of junk mail and papers were don’t need any more. It’s humorous to find something as old as these old folders. They were left from when I used that desktop computer and desk for my work area. It’s been a while since it was my work area.
Sometime today I want you to go to an area of your house that needs some decluttering. Set a timer for 15 minutes and purge! Email me if you find something older than 2004 to throw out.
Holiday Mission: Check your grocery list for any additional food items or ingredients you need for next week.
Zone Mission: Take a look at your home. Pick one area that needs some attention. Use my challenge above and purge something that is older than my files from 2004.
