Purging

Purging one's office or living space several times a year helps diminish the build up of clutter, and saves time when cleaning.  It's amazing the volume of mail that arrives on a daily basis.  Where does all the paper, magazines, knickknacks, and general stuff come from anyway?  When piles of paper, magazines, files, and other paper materials become too high, they can hide visibility to the walls and other surroundings.  These piles can hide spots from water leaks--for instance.  Blocking out small windows of time--since we are all so very busy these days--to attack particular pieces of furniture, or target a certain room.  Perhaps a good rule of thumb might be:  if it hasn't been used or worn in one year, it can be placed in the "Out" pile.  Select a Purging "season," and then do your Purging annually or quarterly.
