I really need try and meet this challenge every day (perhaps several times a day). One of our biggest clutter issues is paper (mail, stuff from school, flyers, newspapers, magazines and catalogs). My zeal to recycle often means that "things" pile-up and then everything appears overwhelming. With Lelly's challenge in mind I gathered the pile(s), tried to quickly sort through everything(what's that rule about only handling an item of paper once) , recycled and took care of everything. Granted, daughter #2 has a significant amount of college brochures to look through now - but my pile is quite manageable. Thanks, Lelly.
