Tom’s Favorite Words
“Perfect!”
“WOW!”,
and
“I’ve Been Looking for That!”
The Patented Clutterboy Binary System TM
It’s simply a matter of “Keep” or “Bye-bye.”
“Keep” means you want to hang on to it. “Bye-bye” means you never even have to think about it again. I know exactly what to do with it: Again we Donate, Recycle, Repurpose or, (as I’ve been saying) as a last resort, we take it to the landfill.
The Big Trick:
if you hesitate for even a second or two it’s a “Keep”: it makes it to the second round. And nothing is going to leave your space right away. You always have a chance to change your mind.
I do my level best to help you avoid what I call “The Oh-Darn Factor.”
