Clear the Clutter: How to Get Motivated and Finish the Task
If you’ve lived in the same home for many years, you most likely have accumulated a lot of stuff: clothes, kitchen gadgets, files, shoes, picture frames, books, flower pots, tools…

They range from life-size to miniature, paper to plastic to cloth to ceramic, incandescent to inflatable. Some of these babies are brand-new, while some are hundreds of years old. All of them have the same parents, the same bed, and the same name.
