Keeping Organized

My Closet
Hi Guys,

I ordered some new summer tops and when they arrived today, I realized I didn't have any hangers to hang them on. I completely forgot about my rule...when I buy something new, something old has to go to a charity. So today I am going to clean out my closets and my drawers to make room for my new things. Following this rule gives deserving people gently used clothing and shoes, plus provides much needed hangers for my new purchases.

This rule not only applies to clothing and shoes, but to furniture. If your home seems crammed full of furniture, perhaps you can donate a chair, table, sofa, or anything that is just sitting there that no one uses anymore. There are a lot of organizations that will take your gently used clothing and furniture--some even have a home pick-up service.

If you feel like you want to sell your things instead of donating them, have a garage sale, try to sell them on Ebay, or put an ad in your local paper.

Whether you decide to donate or sell your items, get them out of your house and keep it organized--Don't be a pack-rat!

Two Full Drawers
Well, I'd better get started clearing out my closets and drawers.

That's my tip for today.
