Thoughts to Help with Decluttering

On clutterdiet.com, Lori shares the "ABC's" of decluttering our homes and minds:

A = Acquire  "It's OK to say no to hand-me-downs, not take soaps from hotels, etc."  Watch carefully what you acquire and let into your home.

B = Buying  "Think, 'Do I really need this?"  "Where will it go in the house?"  "How much space will it take up?"  "Can I afford this?"

C = Consenting  This has more to do with saying yes to too many commitments.  When I was a stay-at-home mom, I made a check list that I read over before saying yes.  If it didn't fit my checklist, I said no to the commitment.

Half the battle is not bringing more "stuff" into our homes and schedules.
