Instead of buying new ones each spring, I pull these into the garage (it is heated and has windows). Pull out your furnace filter and either replace or clean it before winter sets in. Your HVAC operates more efficiently with a clean filter and it only takes a few minutes to do. Use free plants to landscape.

Consider hosting a garage sale or listing items online to sell. Think of it as packing for a short vacation; including toiletries, medications, a few changes of clothes, basic cleaning supplies, and perhaps a small toolkit for assembling furniture. Starting fresh in a clean home sets a positive tone for your new living environment.

My brother once cleaned potato chip bags after turning them inside out and used those as gift bags! Some retail stores do still give out gift boxes for free, always check if you are buying in a brick and mortar store. Christmas cards are becoming a forgotten tradition, but we still get and give some. Be unusual. Make gift tags.

When I realized that all these things were affecting the quality of my life, I decided that something had to give. It claimed that a clean workspace improved productivity and gave the illusion of being in control and on top of work tasks. What about the old refrigerator in the garage you only use when you have a party?
