In Kathryn Porter’s book Too Much Stuff, she mentions a phrase, “You can’t keep everything and keep a clean house.” She started using this as a mantra to bring organization to her home. Depending on your goals, you might be able to generate your own organizing mantra. If time management is a struggle, maybe your mantra would be: I can’t do every task people ask me to do and keep a reasonable schedule. A mantra for children could be: I can’t keep all of my toys and get to all of them easily. The booklovers’ mantra: I can’t keep every book I’ve ever owned and know whether or not I have duplicates or whether it is worth reading a second time. For exercise lovers: I can’t keep every piece of exercise equipment and be able to maintain a reasonable exercise regimen. I could continue, but I am sure that you get the idea. What is your organizing mantra?
