Cold outside, warm, and less cluttered, inside

I've been reading some of the survey responses from our many out-of-state visitors to projo.com.

I do have to say, if you're missing today's weather here in Rhode Island, you're not missing anything.

Cold, damp, dark.

But inside, we've still got the white lights on the tree and in the windows, some football on the TV, black beans soaking on the stove for cooking later today and ...

Lots of paper collecting on the hearth by the woodstove, as I go through my annual ritual of cleaning out pocketbook and bags today.

Boy, does it build up.

But the task helps me clear my head, as well as the stuff I tote around each day, and makes me feel refreshed for the new year.

Also on the to-do list for today:

Compress any two baskets of stuff into one.

Put away the Christmas gifts.

And leave all the clothes and dishes washed by end of day.

For more tips on staying organized, see what the professionals have to say at hgtv.com

And, oh, yes, start moving that paper trail to an online folder -- you may not save less, but at last it won't eat up desk, floor and wall space :)

Happy new year to all,

Thanks for the great organizing tips.
I have to admit i am totally useless at getting organised. Especially when packing a suitcase!!



Ah the winter blues in Rhode Island getting you down? What you need is good dose of winter sun to perk you up. Lots of good places around to get that like Latin America or Middle East...but have you ever considered a Winter Sun Villa in Cyprus?
