Interestingly, after writing my article yesterday, The Thrill of Thrift Stores, I found a related blog post today by Professional Organizer, Stephanie Calahan. In her comments, she mentions 11 questions you can ask yourself before you commit to buying something. Here are a few that I use personally and tell my clients to etch in their minds…
#2 Do I already own something that can fulfill this purpose?
#5 Do I love it?
#9 Do I have a place for it?
To see the other 8 questions, click here. They will help you avoid going home with an armful of items that you may not know what to do with. Less stuff = less clutter.
