Your home should reflect your loving and warm personality. But, in order for your true nature to
be exposed, eliminating unnecessary clutter needs to be a priority. In this case, your weakness can
actually be your strength. You’re a caring and giving person. Now you just need to extend those
attributes outside the home. Set up a box in your home for giving items away. Instead of thinking
of it as a loss of one of your valued possessions, think about how much someone else can use that
item. If you find that it is difficult to place things in the box, you might try creating a transition box.
Put all of the items you’re not sure about into this box, tape it shut and don’t open it for at least three
months. When you do open the box, you’ll look at what’s inside with new eyes and hopefully be
able to donate or toss out a few more items.
Last Minute Lizzy: “The Jones’ won’t be here for at least ten more minutes, that’s plenty of
time to whip the house into shape (I hope).” You thrive on meeting tight deadlines and feel
satisfied when you accomplish the seemingly impossible. However, cleaning for you is really
more about shoving things out of sight than making lasting progress.
Cute containers can be a lifesaver!
Just make sure each one has a
designated purpose.
