Last week I had a whole post written, and somehow pressed the wrong key combination (stupid firefox!) and the whole tab closed. sigh... Oh well, anyway, all I was going to talk about was this decluttering seminar that I went to at a health symposium at work. I'm a total clutterbug, and I'm going to blame my family for training me that way. But it was an interesting seminar. Wasn't anything I hadn't heard before, to be honest, but sometimes, it just helps to sit there in that type of forum and hear someone say those things out loud.

Her best tip that I've taken to, is to try just 15 minutes per day to clear out a particular area, whether it's your sock drawer, your coffee table or whatever. She said that a lot of times, we talk ourselves out of cleaning because in our head, the stress associated with it is so much worse than what it actually is.

Getting myself used to doing this all the time is going to be hard though, but I guess the thing about the 15 minutes tip is that you can at least do little by little. (Just try not to create more clutter in the process!)
