Every once in a while, I come across a blog post that I really, really wish I had written, just because it’s brilliant, and perfectly worded, and I agree 100% with absolutely everything in it.
The Powerful Difference Between Organizing and Decluttering is one of those posts.
I read it this morning while I was eating my breakfast. I was sitting at our kitchen counter, which had an enormous pile of papers and junk that I needed to sort through, a job I’d been putting off for far too long.
As I sat there surrounded by my junk, I read this:
Living with less trumps organizing because organizing is temporary…..
I looked at my pile for a while, and I thought, “I am tired of trying to find the right place to store all of that stuff. Could I just throw EVERYTHING away??”
I went through the pile, and it turned out there were only three papers that need to be filed (in existing files, so that was easy), and a notebook and two notepad that needed to be put back in a drawer.
The rest could get thrown out!!
Perfect.:)
Do you have any piles in your house that need to be thrown out instead of organized?
