We talk a lot about decluttering in this newsletter and getting rid of things that are no longer useful to us. Now and then, however, I like to include things that are useful...things that, because we have them, our lives are that much more organized. Here are some of my latest favorites:

1) Dryer Brush. I have full, curly hair that I was spending a lot of time straightening in the past. That is, until I got myself a dryer brush. Have you tried one? If not, I highly recommend the one I purchased. Essentially, I wash and towel dry my hair in the evening, and then allow it to air dry on its own a bit. In the meantime, I catch up on the laundry or watch a TV show. Once it's dried to 'damp,' I use the dryer brush to brush and style it at the same time.

The one I use is called Infinitipro by Conair . I've been using it for two weeks and am so pleased with it. It provides super-fast drying and styling, and leaves my hair detangled, silky smooth, and frizz free. I don't have to straighten it any longer.

Best yet, this tool did not break the bank. It's very affordable.

2) All-in-one Convection Oven. I like my countertop clear and free for prepping and serving food, so when I find one appliance that can handle many functions, I dive deep to learn more about it. I am very happy with this latest find that can air fry, air roast, air broil, bake, toast, dehydrate, and keep warm.

The one I have is called Ninja Foodi Counter-top Convection Oven. The air-fry, air-roast, air-bake functions not only save so much time, but they allow for healthier, no-oil-required cooking as well. Plus, this unit flips up when not in use, making it a wonderful space-saver.

3) Herb scissors. I enjoy cooking and cook most of our family meals at home. Because of this, having effective prep tools is vital. I've long touted the benefits of kitchen shears, and now along with that recommendation, I also recommend herb scissors if you cook with fresh herbs.

The 3-piece set I have is called Kitchen Shears, Herb Scissors, Vegetable Peeler Set. Each unit comes with a blade guard with your safety in mind.

The herb scissors look like a pair of scissors, but have 5 blades. One snip cuts many pieces. I use them daily for all sorts of herbs, scallions, etc. resulting in perfect, small, even cuts.

What time-saving tools do you like to use? Reply and let me know. I'll include these in a future GON in 5 Minutes Newsletter issue.

All people have clutter to some degree. You may have a little. You may have a ton. MOST people are somewhere right in the middle.

For anyone who has clutter, have no doubt in your mind that CLUTTER GROWS. Small clutter challenges soon turn into large clutter issues.

Plus, clutter is sneaky...it doesn't only show up in the pile of shoes you may have in your closet, the overload of toys in the toy room, the boxes of stuff in the basement, or the stuffed-to-the-max drawers and closets in your home. Clutter can actually invade your life in FOUR forms...

1. Physical Clutter
2. Paper Clutter
3. Digital Clutter
4. Emotional Clutter

Once clutter is here, it begins to wreak all sorts of havoc...

There is only one way to get rid of clutter...and that is by using a proven- effective clutter-removing system. Only then will you be able to face clutter head-on and have the clutter-free life you deserve.
