4 Ways To Leave Your Clutter
by Barbara Myers
Everyone has some degree of clutter lurking at home. When you’re tired of moving it around, stepping over it and losing important items in it, it’s time to take control of the clutter. But what should you do with it? You have seven options:
DISPOSE OF IT
Much of clutter is TRASH you either though you might need or figured you’d throw out later.
DONATE IT
If you don’t use it, it’s not a treasured decorative item or memento, and it’s not an important piece of paper, get rid of it. Pass it along to someone who might NEED it.
REFER IT
The novel you’ve been saving for Debbie, the recipe you copied for Aunt Jan and the gloves borrowed from Mom need to be sent or delivered to their rightful OWNERS. Place them together and make your rounds tomorrow.
FIX IT
Those buttons aren’t going to sew themselves. Either mend them or take them to a seamstress. The same goes for the broken toys and watches. And if you aren’t going to do it yourself, have it REPAIRED.
