Do a thorough spring
cleaning...just before Christmas
We did a bit of spring cleaning
yesterday...December 18th !
You are about to bring a bunch more stuff
into your house,
so why not do a little advance preparation
and clear some out?
As was the case this year, my wife made a
major change,
clearing out a decrapification efforts
worst enemy...a collection!
If you're not inclined to make a major
effort in a single room,
get out an empty box and gather unwanted
items from around the house.
Employing the same technique as the
government when the started payroll tax withholding,
you'll never miss the stuff and may not
even realize it's gone.
But if you make a concerted effort to
decrapify,
over an extended period of
time,
you'll not only feel a lifting of the
burden from your stuff,
but also a sense of accomplishment and
control over your life.
The epitome of that control our stuff has
over us
is the post-Christmas storage
container-o-mania in the stores.
They not only want you to load up on stuff
before Christmas,
they want to sell you stuff to keep it all
afterwards!
Take control, "spring" clean it out of
your life !
