Clear the Clutter of "Too Many"

It’s easy to collect more than we need. We're looking at you, mugs, free pens, Tupperware lids, etc.—especially when they’re useful. But having too many of the same thing can actually slow you down.

This week, take 10 minutes to:

  1. Pick one category that’s overflowing (mugs, kitchen gadgets, cleaning products, spices, lip balms, socks, whatever comes to mind)

  2. Pull everything out and lay it in one spot

  3. Choose your favorites: the ones you love, use, and reach for often

  4. Let go of the extras! Donate, recycle, discard, or pass them along to someone who’ll use them
