Organizing Tips and Ideas from GON Readers

GON Reader Organizing Tip #1

Slow and Steady is Good

Hello Maria,

I wanted to remind everyone slow and steady is good. I don't always get things out of my house as fast as I should, but I don't stop working on it.

Today, I was able to get 5 boxes and a leaky water bottle out of my house. Last week, I pulled 3 shirts out of my drawer I hadn't worn in a long time.

Some weeks I don't get rid of anything, but I keep at it. I'm also being more selective what I bring into my house.

Thank you for your newsletter that encourages us daily.

-- Lydia from Wisconsin

GON Reader Organizing Tip #2

Displaying and Repurposing Bowling Trophies, Medals and Pins

Hi Maria,

My two sons had many bowling trophies, medals and pins from over the years. I first gathered them all up and took pictures of everything. Then, I removed the plaques from the trophies and the medals from the ribbons. I put everything into shadow boxes for each of the boys when they got their own house.

Now, it's up to them if they want to keep them or not, but at least they don't take up too much space. We donated the trophies to our local Special Olympics group who was thrilled to reuse them to hand out when they had bowling events.

Love reading your short informative newsletters every day. Thank you!

GON Reader Organizing Tip #3

Prevent Eye Strain with Your BiFocals

My optometrist recommended this when you wear bifocals: have the top of the computer screen at eye level. It works great to prevent eye strain. I'm under 5 feet tall and this really works for me.

Goodbye Clutter

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.

Want to say goodbye to your clutter? I have just the thing you need for a glorious, clutter-free life.
