Gloria, actually those aren’t all MY good intentions – just the decluttering one. But don’t you find most people have at least one of them?

Sue, what a long list of good intentions! It’s a great idea to declutter but I hope you don’t beat yourself up about your stuff. And you don’t look like you can afford to lose 10 pounds!

Good strategy! That used to work well for me, too, when my office was the backup guest space. Now that the bed is gone, it’s strictly an office, so I am unfortunately free to let the piles accumulate.

I wait till we’ve got company coming (out of town guests are best) and then do a marathon paper dump as part of the cleaning and tidying frenzy. I find that the things I’ve kept out had some urgency “once” but after they’ve sat and stewed for awhile, their urgency — and their usefulness — is gone and I can recycle or shred.
