I really learned a lot on de-cluttering my paper pile which consists of everything from school notes and important info calendars to old magazines that I've kept because of a recipe or a tidbit on everyday "stuff". My knickknack collections that are dust bunny magnets and hard to let go of, well now I can admit I've let go of a few... that's a start, right? Organization really does lower a person's stress level and puts you on the road to bliss. Kathryn gives us all several questions to consider which answers the age old question.. Do I really need this?
I'm a bit "old school" when it comes to storing everything electronically. Yes, I do it but I also keep a "hard copy" having had first hand experience on losing information stored on electronic gadgets.
