Living simple.
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007I have been on a big organization and clear out kick as of late. It’s funny how fast things can pile up when you aren’t watching, and how important it is to take a look at things in the house now and then and decide what to do with them.
I love the idea of simple living. It has been a mission of mine to clear out anything that we don’t love or use from the house. It has also been important to plan good, effective, systems for the things that we do need to keep. The point? To create a happy home that doesn’t take a lot of time to care for. Simple is better!
There are a few projects that I am working on right now in the quest to simplify things. The first is a binder project. I already have one binder for house ideas, where I keep anything that I like from magazines. It turns out that I need two more binders, one for good recipes from magazines, and one for workout ideas from magazines. I love to pull out the things I like for keeping, then recycle the magazine somehow. This cuts clutter and makes it really easy to find what I am looking for.
