RESOLUTION TWO - TIME TO DOWNSIZE

One easy way to get organized for the new year is "addition by subtraction," i.e. downsizing. Specifically, for every new item that is added to your household (clothes, gadgets, etc.), one-to-three things need to go.

Past that, do an inventory of stored things. Boxes from an old move... garage items with levels of dust measured in feet... the ubiquitous "junk drawer..." If you haven't needed some of the contents of these cluttered areas in years, maybe it's time to part with them.

In your closets and drawers, maybe you have a few of those perfectly worn T-shirts but can part with the stacks that get overlooked for the prized few.

With the new year upon you, it's a great time to execute your downsize plan. Once you clear out space it becomes easier to organize the things that are staying.
