Organizing With You Tip of the Week: “Pruning”

Pooja Gugnani


Three questions to ask yourself when pruning down your belongings:

1.  Do I really need this item? Be specific as to how.
2.  When was the last time I used it? 
3.  Are there others—my family, friends, co-workers, charity—who could make better use of it?

By asking yourself these questions, you will have the answers right in front of you to help determine whether you are simply collecting or keeping with a purpose.

You might want to consider
donating some of your belongings
to a charitable organization.
