Decluttering tips #1

# Blankets: How many people are there in your household? Let everyone keep their favorite one for those chilly nights when they're needed, and one as a part of the emergency kit you should have in your car, but sell/give the other ones away.

# Wires: Label your tech-wires and get rid of duplicates. Hint: I found I could use the same wire for both the camera and the mp3-player.

# Bed-linen: A maximum of two sets/bed  is enough, at least for those of us with easy access to a washing machine. If your household is big, 1,5 sets/bed might be sufficient. After all, one rarely changes all the linen at the same time.

# Paper: Keep one notebook for everything, and maybe some paper for your printer if you have one. That's really all you need. Bonus: Going through the notebook later during the year will help remind you of all the fun you actually did during the year.

# Candles and assorted holders: We seem to get these every Christmas or birthday. Stop feeling guilty and just throw them away. I've kept a generic one which I can change with the seasons. Sand and seashells in the summer, red candles and moss/pine cones/i.e. during winter. It also serves as a incubator for plants.

More to come!
