Fall…Winter: It’s time to get warm and organized

Well, it’s getting cold and rainy out there in Chicago and that means it’s time to get out all of your winter gear and put away the summertime clothes and doodads. Don’t forget to toss out expired sunscreen and the like.

I put all of my scarves together in a bin, where I can get to them easily and the same with my mittens and hats. I have all of my sweaters together in a drawer and on hangers. Coats are all organized by warmness.

All of my summer stuff is in storage, except for my swimsuit, which I use sometimes in the winter.

When everything is in it’s place and you can find it easily it’s so much more fun to get dressed this Fall and Winter. Stay warm!

This is a great article that talks about the psychological aspects of clutter and how it can negatively effect your life. It also contains some very good suggestions about how to battle clutter.

ebay is your friend when you declutter

Yesterday, I was looking through my closet and my wallet. There was too much stuff in my closet and not enough bills in my wallet. What I decided to do next was not only fun, but hopefully lucrative. I spent three hours taking photos and posting stuff for sale on ebay.

“Boy”, you might say,”That sounds like such a bother!”

Nevertheless, a little effort can garner you oodles of cash. Who doesn’t want cash?
I am proud of myself for having made the effort and in a few days I may have a bunch of dollars in my PayPal account.

Take a look at that stuff you aren’t using and think about how you could trade your “junk” into cash.
