Merlin Mann's decluttering roundup
Over at 43 Folders, Merlin Mann has a great roundup of links to help you declutter your digs. If you've been putting off spring cleaning because you don't know how to even get started making a dent in all the crap accumulating on every horizontal surface of your abode, take a look at this.
From FlyLady.net:
The 27-Fling BoogieLinkWe do this assignment as fast as we can. Take a garbage bag and walk through your home and throw away 27 items. Do not stop until you have collected all 27 items. Then close the garbage bag and pitch it. DO NOT LOOK IN IT!!! Just do it.
Next, take an empty box and go through your home collecting 27 items to give away. Suze Orman taught me this in her book, The Courage to be Rich. This will change the energy in your home and bring about good feelings. Every time I do this I feel better and my home is becoming decluttered in the process. As soon as you finish filling the box, take it to the car. You are less tempted to rescue the items.
