Do you have the urge to purge?

It’s the beginning of a brand new year, and for that matter a brand new decade. Have you decided to participate in National Get Organized Month so that you can begin to enjoy the benefits of a more organized life? When you get the urge to purge, do you get bogged down with having to make a decision on what to keep and what to get rid of? Ask yourself the following questions when you need to make a decision and you’ll be a purging pro in no time:
- Have I used this item in the past year?
- Do I love it or use it?
- Do I have a use for it in the foreseeable future?
- Does this item add value to my life and serve a worthwhile purpose?
- Is it more important to keep this item or to have the space it occupies?
- What is the worst thing that will happen if I get rid of this?
- What is the best thing that will happen when I get rid of this?
