  Unclutterer — Authority: 610
  In the original “ Saying farewell to a hobby ” post, I talked about how to decide if you’re not really into your hobby. Letting go of a no-longer-active hobby can be difficult, especially if part of your identity is wrapped up in that activity. (I know I still think of myself as a tennis player even though I ...

• Let go of the past from your wardrobe

  
  Unclutterer — Authority: 610
  Yesterday, I finally got up the nerve to say farewell to what was left of my corporate wardrobe. No longer taking up space in my closet are suits, long-sleeve collared shirts, or “business casual” sportswear. My dresser drawers are free of pantyhose, trouser socks, and sweater sets (wait, I did keep one black ...

I love hot showers and three ring binders filled with paper that I have printed out. It is one of my many flaws. I still havent gotten use to this information age for keeping all of ...

• Change is in the air...

  
  Collecting the Moments... one by one — Authority: 126
  Spring and Fall seem like good cleaning and cleansing times. It seems that decluttering and getting unwanted stuff out of the house is doubled with the idea of actually being in the house for the next 6 months. It is funny how coming back to these seasonal rituals helps with the acceptance of the passing of time. ...

• 5S and the Great Yard Sale

  
  Safety Culture Plus — Authority: 132
    I am an advocate of the 5S method as a basic part of a system of management.  5S provides a way to clear out the clutter that accrues over time. In safety/risk management, it reduces physical issues that create loss producing conditions or increase risk of injury or damage.   I decided that if I advocate 5S, ...

  communicatrix — Authority: 424
  When you take a cold, hard look at them, most to-do lists can be boiled down to a few essential items: work on something important and play with someone important . I cannot think of a more appropriate way to celebrate today, the fifth anniversary of this ungodly-long-winded blog, than doing just those two ...

• Secrets Of A Cluttered Home

  
  3stepADS - Free Advertising Blog — Authority: 577
  Keeping a home for getting cluttered is a never ending struggle. Most of us would prefer to toss our coats on the couch than to put them in the closet. Most of us would rather leave books and magazine lying around instead of putting them back on a shelf each time weve finished with them for the time being. People are ...

• Clearing my (psychic) clutter, Day 19: Contact clutter

  
  communicatrix — Authority: 424
  I wiped almost a thousand people from my life today in less than two hours. To be fair, many of them were ‘bots, duplicates and other sync-rot from Google Contacts and Address Book. But a fair number were people—actual human beings—whom I’ve met along the way, one way or another, and either lost touch with or ...

• Making exceptions to your uncluttered standards

  
  Unclutterer — Authority: 610
  We all make exceptions to the uncluttered standards we have in place. In my closet are one or two pieces of clothing that don’t fit me right, but for some reason I haven’t been able to give them away to charity. There is a chipped mug in my kitchen cupboards that we got as a wedding gift and the sentimentality of ...

  I’ve somewhat neglected the removal of digital clutter thus far in my quest, as I’m home amongst the physical stuff for now and will be removed from it for 2+ weeks while I’m on the road. I did take some putter-y, relaxation time to declutter my music files over the past weekend, though, and as I was combing ...

  communicatrix — Authority: 424
  Earlier in this hellish undertaking , I tossed off a remark about wanting treats, and wondered aloud what form they should take. Should they be consumables and services—things like journals and soaps, massages or coaching sessions? Stuff that I can use and enjoy, but that doesn’t stick around and add to the ...
