Home Organization Tips

Assorted links for October 18, 2010

Interesting articles relating to uncluttering, organizing, and simple
living:

* Patrick at Minimal Mac asks "A Most Important Question [1]." If
you don't know where something belongs, it may "... not have a
place in your home, in your relationships, in your job, or or in
your life," and, "perhaps it should not be there."

* Alton Brown, the celebrity chef who is the inspiration behind our
Unitasker Wednesday posts, wrote a diary about his (bizarre?)
minimalist eating practices when he travels in last week's _New
York_ magazine: "Alton Brown Makes His Own Avocado Ice Cream, Does
Shots With John Hodgman [2]."

* Learning Express Library [3] is an online resource for practice
tests on hundreds of topics. The free and digital tests range from
the U.S. Citizenship exam to college entrance tests. Save your
money and some trees with these helpful resources.

* Lose the equipment and your gym membership, and get an uncluttered
workout using only your body weight. From Nerd Fitness, "Beginner
Body Weight Workout [4]."

* The Art of Manliness has a tribute to all things minimalist in "Go
Small Or Go Home: In Praise of Minimalism [5]."

* Clean up your iTunes digital music collection with Tagalicious [6]
--- a simple and easy to use application that gets rid of all of
those "Track 01'' files you have in your directory.

* Are you on Twitter [7]? Does it bother you when someone attends a
conference and floods your stream with messages that clutter up
your feed? Use DeClutter [8] to remove specific keywords from your
timeline. (_via Swiss-Miss [9]_)

*Like this site? Buy Erin Rooney Doland's _Unclutter Your Life in One
Week [10]_ from Amazon.com [11] today.*
