Getting Organized
Ice cream and cake, pen and
paper, needle and thread, spring
and housecleaning. Now, you pick
out the one that doesn’t go
together. Personally, the thought
of joining such a pleasant season as
spring with the reality of house
cleaning is non-harmonious in my
mind. However, it does seem that

somewhere in our “roots” those
two items have been paired
together for as long as we have said
cookies and milk!
Even I must admit that the
thought of new life in spring docs
coordinate with freshness in the
home. So, I too, will probably con
tinue this gallant effort of trying
once again to get things in order.
Nothing refreshes like

However, there is one idea that we
could be trying that would make
spring cleaning this year have long
icon affects.
The first item is not cleaning,
but rather clutter control! I believe
this is the key! I don’t mind the
cleaning, it is the constant “pick
up” of disorganized duller that
lakes the most time, especially
when it is repealed over and over
again.
The initial phase is to have the
right frame of mind. Put on some
fast-paced music, open die win
dows, and set aside a block of time.
Next, gel several empty bags or
boxes. Label the boxes m the fol
lowing way: move to another
room, garage sale or give away,
pul m another room, and a big box
for throw away.
Then choose a room to begin
and place your four boxes inside
the room. To be able to see your
progress, begin in one corner of the
room and work clockwise.

Don’t take on more than you can
handle. Set an amount of time that
you will work. Then methodically
handle each item you come to,
categorizing the item in the appro
priate box. This way you will be
able to see the most progress and
this encouragement will help you
to get the job done.
The most difficult part is decid
ing what to throw away. Some key
questions to ask yourself arc
When did I last use this item? Is it
worth its’ cost m maintaining it,
storing, insuring or moving it 7
Widi clothing, a general rule of
thumb is that if you have not worn
it in the past season, you probably
will not W'car it next year. These
“skeletons” arc only making clut
ter m your closet. There arc other
persons who would really appreci
ate these items. Inquire with the
local clothing banks or second
hand shops as to their needs or
requirements.
In my curly years of houscclcan

boxes. These boxes held special

tos, prom flowers, and oihcr “valu
able” stuff. Now, I have shelves
full of memory boxes and that’s
before my daughter has started
creating art work. A possible solu
tion is to sort through the memory
boxes. This is a great job to do on a
sunny day when you would rather
be outside. Take the memory box
out to the patio, porch or picnic
tabic and go through it. Keep one
of a set, or one flower out of a
bouqct. Another option is to take a
picture of items that have great
sentimental value but arc really not
worth the room they take up. A
photo takes much less room.
Probably the best reason to do
spring cleaning is that it rcjuvi
nates each of us when it is com
pleted. So enough talk, let’s get out
there and get organized. And a
quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson
applies here, “Don’t waste life in
doubts and fears; spend yourself
on the work before you, well
assured that the right performance
of this hour’s duties will be the best
preparation for the hours or ages
which follow it!
