Declutter your closet: what to donate

Declutter your closet: what to donate

Decluttering an overcrowded closet can be fun. That is to say, if you
have determined to let things go. It's easier to say than done if
you're not used to making donations and throwing things out. It can be
very difficult to decide to which ones to donate and which ones to
keep. First of all, you have to come to a point that you must throw
things out, otherwise no closet organizer can help. It's true that a
closet organizer can help, but it you have too much stuff, it just
simply won't work.

If you have clothes that you bought in the 80s at yard sales, it's
definitely time to start making donations. Most people wear 20% of
their clothes 80% of the time, so there's simply no need to keep them
all just in case. That in case probably will never happen. First find
the clothes that you wear often put them aside. Then go through the
closet and throw out anything that you haven't wore in recent 2 years
or anything that doesn't fit you. If you're sentimental about certain
piece, then save one or two and put them in the attic or cellar. Then
take the thrown out pile and donate them.

Workspace of the Week: Home office haven

Workspace of the Week: Home office haven

This week's Workspace of the Week is Mandi's office, her way [1]:

[2]

The first thing that jumped out at me in Mandi's office is the
wonderful cable control. A simple cable tube [3] groups all the cables
together and reduces their visual clutter. I also like how she uses
matching frames, all along one shelf, to group photographs. The coffee
station located where she uses it --- in her office --- is also a
great idea.

In the comment section to Mandi's office image, she linked to her
website, so I followed the link. On her site I found a wonderful page
of free downloadable Christmas planning worksheets [4]. If you
celebrate Christmas, you should definitely check out the planning
worksheets to help reduce the stress of the holiday.

Thank you, Mandi, for submitting your inspiring office to our Flickr
pool.

Want to have your own workspace featured in Workspace of the Week?
Submit a picture to the Unclutterer flickr pool [5]. Check it out
because we have a nice little community brewing there. Also, don't
forget that workspaces aren't just desks. If you're a cook, it's
a kitchen; if you're a carpenter, it's your workbench.

Use a browser extension to limit the number of open windows and tabs

Use a browser extension to limit the number of open windows and tabs

Browser tabs and windows have a nasty habit of multiplying. It's easy
to find yourself with a half-dozen browser windows open, each one
having several tabs active. As you might expect, this has a serious
effect on general system performance and stability.

To mitigate this particular problem, I use a Firefox add-on called
Window and Tab Limiter [1]. It allows you to set a limit on the number
of windows and tabs Firefox will keep open. Depending on the mode that
is selected in the add-on's preference window, one of the following
three things will happen when the user exceeds their own specified
maximum number of open widows and tabs:

* *Suggestion Mode:* The user is presented with a list of active
windows and tabs. They can then either select one or more windows
or tabs to close, or simply ignore the warning and continue
working.

* *Force Mode:* The user is presented with a list of active windows
and tabs. They must close at least one window from the list to
remain under the limit so they can continue working.

* *Silent Mode:* Windows are closed automatically without any user
interaction.

Although the Silent Mode option may sound dangerously automatic, I
find it works quite well, provided the window and tab limit is not set
too low. (I keep mine set at 7.)

If you use Chrome, you might want to try No More Tabs [2]. It has
fewer options, but it provides the same basic functionality.
