So I used a picture of my dog Zoe. She looks like she’s listening right? How’s that for artistic license?!
Ahem...anyway...
If you ever hear these statements in your head...abort!
This mentality gets us into trouble.
2. “I’ll save this for so and so.”We typically forget that we are saving something for that person. Thus, causing clutter. If you want to give someone an item that you no longer want, place that item by the door with a post-it with their name on it. Being near the door not only reminds you to take/send it to them it also will make you nuts just sitting there. Therefore, you are more likely to get it to them faster.
This statement is not entirely bad. Just keep in mind that the “stuff” we buy often proves less efficient resulting in never ending “to-do” lists or just more “stuff”. Really think about the products you are going to buy. Is it REALLY going to make your life easier?
