Fling some files today. Open up your file drawer and pick 3 files. Go for the messy ones with paper sticking out the top, at least 1” thick, paper yellowed at the edges. Come on…you’re a pro now, you can do this! Sort into Archive (I really need to keep this paper for...

Garage or Basement, take your pick! And. um, NO…I don’t expect you to tackle the entire thing today. But hopefully by now you’re on a good roll so this should make a larger task seem more manageable. Set a timer for 30 minutes, gather up a large garbage bag or two,...

Photos. This one is a marathon, not a sprint! Start today by going through your digital photos from the last six months to a year (depending on how many photos you take!). Delete the blurry, the duplicates, the downright bad. Separate into simple files by month,...

Declutter your calendar again. Look ahead at the next 7 days and find one thing you’ve been avoiding, putting off, moving from one week to the next. Take 5 minutes (or 30) and just do it already. Schedule the appointment, run the errand, sign the check, make the call....

Tackle your refrigerator. Start at the top and empty out each shelf and drawer. Give it a nice good scrub (Clorox wipes make this so easy!). Soak anything that is really ooey-gooey. Check all expiration dates and toss/compost/recycle anything that gives you the...

Get thee to the closet and toss some trophy clothes—you know the “I may fit back into that one day” or the “I spent a small fortune on that” outfits that stick their tongues out at you each time you see them. It’s time to kick those clothes to the curb (or at least to...
