My dad once fixed a furnace that conked out over a holiday weekend with a motor he had saved from an old washing machine!<br />As my mom has aged (90 yrs young!) she is less willing to let things go. So he has become somewhat of a packrat.<br />I think I have inherited some of this. I am vowing to pare down in2010.<br /><br />PS.

I am still the one who cleans it up but I do it as I am passing to go somewhere else. Grab a few things that belong in the bathroom as I am passing the counter to go there, etc. It gets cleaned up a lot faster that Debbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363346176357438290.post-36413991512773613782009-12-12T07:54:18.178-07:002009-12-12T07:54:18.178-07:00Loved this post.

Put the hammers and tools in the tool box, pencils & pens in the office, etc. Get a small basket and use that for junk, and sort it weekly. That is what I *try* to do, at least. I will admit that the darn small basket is overloaded at the moment..lolMichiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13510787925987200266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363346176357438290.post-17658018326440272622009-12-11T09:18:47.377-07:002009-12-11T09:18:47.377-07:00"Progress, not perfection" comes from Fl..."Progress, not perfection" comes from Flylady, at Flylady.net, a great site for learning to de-clutter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
