    Default Organizing Quote

    I came across this quote this morning in Donna Smallin's book, The One-Minute Organizer: Plain and Simple .

    If you have clutter, you are richer than you think. Look at uncluttering as an opportunity to share your abundance - the stuff you don't need - with people who could really use it.

    We still need to get rid of the clutter, but seriously...take a moment and look at your donation boxes, garage sale boxes, clutter you'll be tossing today and relfect on how lucky you are that you have anything that you aren't using. Throughout the world, tons of people are in need of so many of the things we take for granted. Heck, the mere fact that we all own computers is a statement in and of itself.

    So, keep cleaning and decluttering, but take a moment to count your blessings.

    Always remember others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself."
