How You Can Live Better with Less





Is it really possible to live better with less? Short answer: YES !!!

In fact, many people find the less they have, the happier they become. As a Professional Organizer I am in homes every week helping people “deal” with all their stuff. Stuff that they spent time and money buying, time and money managing, storing and moving and are now spending more time and money cleaning, organizing and getting rid of.


If you want to start living better with less than check out this column in every issue for tips on how to get started.


How to Live Better with Less: Go through all of your cupboards, drawers and closets and pull out all of your unused cleaning products, lotions, shampoos and other products. You probably have more of those sorts of items in your home than you realize. Most families can go for a year before purchasing any new products. Once it’s all used up, make your own safe, effective and inexpensive cleaning products. For recipes visit: ClearSimpleLiving.com/CleaningGuide/Recipes


Money-Saving Tip: Borrow instead of buy. Visit neighborrow.com to find someone in your area willing to borrow you what you need, when you need it, free of charge. This is especially great if you need a specific tool for a project or a tent for a once-a-year camping trip.


1 Way to Simplify Your Life this Season: Every time you bring something new into your home, get rid of something. If you buy a new pair of shoes toss out an old pair or get rid of something else. Item in = item out. If you continue to bring in more than you get rid of, your home will fill up. You will eventually be out of space and overwhelmed. Prevent this by simply following the item in = item out rule. Before buying anything ask yourself:

1. Do I LOVE this item?
2. Is it useful and will I use it enough to make it worth owning?
3. Is it better for me to own this item than to simply borrow it?

You need at least two yeses to buy the item.
Cheers to living your best life!
