Tuesdays Tip - 100 reasons to get rid of it

(For technical reasons this week on Wednesday)

If you are a regular reader of this blog you are probably wondering how I can get 100 reasons into one short and sweet Tuesday's Tip (and these tips are usually quite short, you have to be the judge whether they are sweet). Well , I'm giving you a link to a page with exactly those reasons on it. It's one of Martha Stewart's Organizing gems that landed in my inbox and I would like to share it with you.

Just to whet your appetite, these 100 reasons include:

number 2: people burn 55 minutes a day looking for things
number 3: 80 percent of what we own we never use
numbers 12 - 40: because someone else needs it
number 50 (one of my personal favourites): getting rid of clutter will reduce housework by 40 percent 
and so on .....

And here is the link:

100 Reasons

Now go and find YOUR reasons and start getting rid!

Martha Stewart Tips

This week I would like to introduce you to the email service from the US American lifestyle guru Martha Stewart. Her website is filled with thousands of tips and tricks for making your household run smoother and more effective and for adding those extra little touches that make a home extra special. You can find recipes, craft ideas, organisational wisdom and much more.

There are several email services you can sign up for, such as weekly newsletters or workshops, my favourite one is the "Organizing Tip of the Day". Every day you get an email with a good idea or technique to make being organised a bit easier or just more fun. If you think the tip is for you, you can actually bookmark it with personalised labels right there on a free account on Martha's website.

Simply set up a free account and start receiving lots of good information.

PS: I don't get any income from promoting Martha's website, I just think it's a really good service.
