An Organizational Reminder

One of the principles of organization of which I frequently have to remind myself is to allot yourself a given volume of space in which to store an item--the amount of your finite space you are willing to cede to having things of that category--and when you exceed that amount of space, prune mercilessly.

I have a large moving box in which I store smaller boxes in which to wrap gifts. I just found myself trying to figure out how to store more than would fit in that box. Now I'm breaking the excess down for the recycling pile.

No particular source--it's usually on the list of "Top Ten Organizing Tips" whenever I happen across one. But, like Peedie, sometimes I forget.

And yeah, books are the biggest challenge. Doing a round of pruning is on my To Do list for this week, right after taking down the Christmas decorations. I console myself that my library is becoming better and better over time!

This is Peedie. Peedie is a gosling. A small, yellow gosling who sometimes forgets things.
