In with the new, out with the old

February seems like it just flew by. I cannot believe it is the end of the month already.

I’ve enjoyed talking with some of you in my “get to know you” free consultations. The offer is still open. If you will spend 15 miutes to answer a few questions and let me get to know you, and your needs and frustrations about organizing, I will offer a solution to one of your problems.

I am recuperating from the flu. We took a trip 10 days ago, and two others in our group got sick, and so it hit my husband and finally me.
Being sick gave us a headstart on spring cleaning, we washed down the entire bed, linens, pillows and even vacuumed all the mattresses.

As March approaches, consider spring cleaning your home or your office.
Remember the phrase - “In with the New and out with the Old?”

Think about what things you can Purge.
That should always be the first step.
What do you no longer use or need?

Purging doesn’t always mean “tossing”.
It could be that these are old files that you need to save but are no longer needed close by and can be sent to storage.

On the other hand purging might mean deleting – deleting old emails that no longer needed or are completed. Deleting old jokes, old files.

It could also be deleting pictures that are crowding your computer. With the age of digital cameras, it is easy to take 2 or 3 times the amount we used to take with paper pictures.
Do you really need 3 pictures of the same people/item/scene? Choose the best one and delete the others.

Get a jump on spring - What do you need to start purging?
