Make 2014 easier on ourselves

We can make 2014 easier on ourselves by lightening our load. The easiest way to do this is to keep our belongings to a minimum.

The secret benefit here is how easy it is to keep a room both clean and neat... when there is very little in that room.

This is especially true in the kitchen. The fewer dishes, gadgets, pots, and pans, the faster the kitchen gets clean.

In any room where you have just the basics, cleaning is a snap. In fact, you'll be surprised that your cleaning is done already!

The challenge of course is getting a room from cluttered to clarity.

First, remove everything that is out of order.

Then start fresh, putting the room back together again.

Sure, you can do this another way if you wish. You can declutter one section of a room at a time. I suggest starting at one point, and going around the room, decluttering what is against each section of wall.

However, if you can empty the room and start from scratch, it's easier to see new possibilities.
