When I don’t have another pair of hands… an acquaintance (who reads my blog) sends words of encouragement.  (She forwarded the following as an e-mail message.)  THANKS!!

Hello and welcome back to your 
Declutter Fast newsletter!

Here’s the most painless way in the world 
to declutter – and the best part is – this 
really works! 

When it comes to being organized, when we 
try something complicated, it becomes just 
one more burden.

It’s the easy and simple solutions to clutter 
and getting organized that work the best – 
because they’re not only easy to put into 
practice, they’re easy to keep doing.

The simple ways are the easiest to become habits. 

This tip is especially painless! It’s simple, 
and it works on a gradual basis, whether you 
have time right now for decluttering or not!

I call it “Take One Thing.” 

Wherever you are in your house (or office), in 
the middle of walking through a room, or making 
a meal, just “take one thing” and move it to 
where it’s supposed to be. 

People who cook a lot will recognize this as 
an essential part of keeping the kitchen neat 
and clean while you are cooking! Cleaning and 
putting things away AS YOU GO makes the job 
much easier and pain-free than having a pile of 
mess to deal with at the end of your creative 
cooking! 

So, try it: “take one thing” and make it a habit 
to do several times a day. This can make a very 
big difference. 

It really adds up. It makes your life a LOT 
easier, cleaner, and more in order!

Even if it is the smallest thing – like removing 
something from the refrigerator that needs to be 
thrown out – that counts. It adds up.

Even if it’s TRASH – yes, that counts too. So, 
the bagels are gone but you still have the 
wrapper on the counter for another day… 
throwing it away makes your kitchen neater. 

You might not have thought this counts, but 
after seeing some of these TV shows in which 
90% of the problem was TRASH that had not 
been tossed out, we can now say, OH YES, 
even THAT counts!

Take one thing and put it where it belongs – 
in another room; in the trash, in the closet, 
in a drawer, in the file cabinet – wherever. 

Make a habit of doing this several times a day, 
and you’ll notice a difference – a much more 
serene life! 

Life is too short to be stressed out all the 
time. Clutter in sight adds to your stress.

You’ll breathe a sigh of relief when your home 
is in order and when you feel the sense of 
progress.

Whether you decide to get decluttered in one 
day, or little by little, I encourage you to 
keep making progress – because eventually you 
WILL reach your goal of an orderly home.

Every decluttering effort we make adds up.

Here’s to order in our lives!
