Business casual clothing was what it called for – meaning khaki pants and a collared shirt for the guys and the same for the girls unless they choose to wear a dress or skirt/blouse. When I was a teen, I poured over books and magazines that purported to know how I should look and what I should do to get that look. How much is too much?

We have accumulated a lot of stuff – lose screws, highly prized collectibles, everyday essentials, clothes that ‘might fit again someday’, tools, children’s artwork, food stuffs and more. Store computer paper next to the printer, store clothing in the room in which you dress. Label where things go. Get Organized'

Most of us did not have clothes dryers, we dried the clothes on a line outside. There were no online saving or bill paying services. There was no polyester clothing. Clothing had to be ironed to look good. People read newspapers, magazines and books for entertainment. Some of us did not have central heat.

You can then take those old cell phones, clothes or magazines to the appropriate recycling depots, ustilize websites such as Craigslist or Freecycle to give away any items you want cleared out quickly and then have a yard sale or an online auction to rid yourself of those unwanted items that are still in saleable condition.

But I had no idea where to start or how to go about simplifying my life until I read a magazine article about the psychological benefits of de-cluttering your workspace. This is what I did and the job was much bigger than I thought so, come bed time, the bed was still under a pile of clothing! Will I wear/want this? Do I need it?

I remember going through magazines and catalogs picking out the things I would have when we had money. You don’t have to contend with deciding which bill to pay or how to avoid a debt collector’s call or trying to keep the landlord off your back. Would I have enough to house, feed and clothe them?
