From Teachers Learn a Lesson
  • If you have an old Halloween costume you no longer intend to wear, get rid of it.
  • Accessories are meant to accessorize something. If you're hanging onto an item like an old motorcycle helmet in hopes of buying a motorcycle, dump it.
  • If you own a piece of clothing that's spent a year or more lying around unworn and unused, let it go.
  • If you have a huge collection of accessories like handbags, get real and keep only the ones you actually use.
From Hickory Dickory Dock, the Rat's Nest in the Clock
  • Don't take responsibility for anybody's clutter except your own. If you're hanging onto someone else's extra stuff, give it back. Let them deal with it.
  • If you're hanging onto something belonging to a departed loved one, ask yourself, "Am I treating this item with the respect it deserves?" If the answer is no, it's time to unload it.
  • If somebody gives you a gift you don't use, get rid of it. Remember, it's the thought that counts.
  • If you have an unused item you want to keep in the family, give it to another family member and put it to good use.
From Computer Clutter Warehouse
  • If you own a piece of clothing that's spent a year or more lying around in its original shrink wrap, it's time to unload it.
  • If you've been hanging onto old gizmos like outdated computers, pick the most recent, useable version and get rid of the rest.
  • A person can only wear so many shoes. Sift through the ones you have, decide what pairs you actually need and say goodbye to the rest.
  • Bedrooms are for resting, not for laundry. If space permits, make the most of your bedroom space by creating a concealed dressing area.
