CLUTTER! Biggest
feng shui no-no of ALL!
Here's a peek at last night's lecture on de-cluttering and organization:
The following lists are inspired and/or borrowed by
Karen Kingston's book,
Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui, because why reinvent the wheel? -- this book is GOOD.
WHAT IS CLUTTER?
1. Things
you do not use or love.
2. Things
that are untidy or disorganized.
3. Too
many things in too small a space.
4. Anything
unfinished.

WAYS TO DEAL WITH CLUTTER:
1. Get rid of it. No really. JUST GET RID OF IT.
2. Organize it. (From Sharon Stasney: Decide if the item is Priority 1 -- needs to be accessible easily and often; Priority 2 -- still needs to be accessible but not, say, on the countertop; Priority 3 -- doesn't have to be readily accessible -- can be in more of a storage type space. Then give the item a "home" accordingly!)
Again, it's just a peek, but hopefully an inspiring one. Now get to it!
