If you do a web search, you will find, year after year, that to get organized is usually one of the top 10 New Year’s resolutions we set for ourselves. Since it shows up every year, it is safe to assume that we often fail to achieve this rewarding yet difficult resolution.
This year I would like to suggest, not just in honor of our beloved yet suffering planet but to make it easy on you as well, that we rename this resolution and call it: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Getting organized is a term that carries weight from your past, laced with the idea that you should be able to get yourself in order. It can feel like a sacrafice. It’s no wonder the edict is so unachievable.
On the other hand, striving to simply reduce, reuse and recycle in everyday life is a fresh idea. It is righteous, honorable and just as rewarding getting organized. Further, reducing, reusing, and recycling can help not just you and your family, but also your community, and the environment since is saves money, energy, and natural resources.
Get organized by:
- Reducing and reusing throughout your household.
- Get your stuff reused by donating it to your favorite charity.
- Recycling and repurposing clutter that doesn’t serve you.
- Eliminating used electronics via a multitude of local options.
