There are probably some things you collect and never look back. Whether it's black pants, snow globes, take-out food containers, paper clips, note pads or videotapes... organizing means constantly checking back to see if you have enough. (All of those are examples of things I have seen grow to excessive proportions)
Well then you must ask youself how many is enough. Aaaaah, that is exactly the point of this exercise.
- Go through your home or office and look at the things you tend to collect by the ton.
- Make a list of just 3 things and decide when you will have enough of them to exist happily. And what number equals too much.
- Post the number nearby your collection to help you remember when you have enough.
- If you decide to bring in more of the item, choose a similar item you don't like as much and give it away.
- If you already have enough, your job is to give away the overage because it is clutter.
