This is part two of my shopping excursion. If you didn't read yesterdays post it was about buying in the off season. In the past when I talked about my sparse amount of clothing I said I could get new items of clothing, but I would have to get rid of something in return. Well, after doing my shopping and doing this I thought to myself, "Why not do this with other items?"
Since doing many tasks relating to organizing I have gotten a rid of a lot of clutter; the last thing I want to do is make our house look cluttered again. So, I have decided that every time I get something new, something must go.
One of my previous tasks was to get rid of one item a day. Well, I think I've pretty much accomplished what I can with this task, so now it's about maintenance and keeping our house free of the mess. I think this will be a good rule to live by.
There are obvious exceptions to this new rule, and I will mention the obvious one of food; the food will disappear on its own in a timely manner. It's all about using a little common sense when it comes to 'Out with the old, in with the new'.
