I hired a great person, @Brian Gilbert, to help me out, and it's made a HUGE difference in my office, my filing system, and my attitude. What a relief it brings to be able to find something quickly! <br />Next - the clothes closet??<br />Bonnie<br />www.YourBusinessDetective.Bonnie Mattickhttp://www.bonniemattick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-69558514301504189142010-01-13T08:14:44.503-08:002010-01-13T08:14:44.503-08:00Stephanie, that's funny.

What blue things in your closet can go? Or, shirts. What shirts have you not worn in the last year or so? Do they even fit? Do you like the style? Start with one thing and see if that helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505661913107994459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-74148202064785334812010-01-13T05:49:02.097-08:002010-01-13T05:49:02.097-08:00You're right about cleaning out your closet. ...You're right about cleaning out your closet.

That one I need to repeat a few more times till it comes true, though. :-) I'll go read this article you've referenced--after I paste and click.

I am a fairly conservative shopper, but I am also great at justifying what I want and transforming it into a need. So, I'm just saying no to unnecessary spending of any kind.<br /><br />It's not about the finances. It's about the stuff. It's about focusing on the intangible things that do count. What I spend my money on just reinforces that.<br /><br />Here's a great link to a story of a man who lived with just 100 things. It served as my initial inspiration--now you've strengthened my resolve, Jackie!<br />http://bit.ly/13wgpMimi Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02644443444595934520noreply@blogger.com
