Magazine Clutter

Magazines=lots of words, lots of pictures, lots of products, lots of knowledge, lots of C-L-U-T-T-E-R… Yes, clutter.

Please tell me that you know rationally that you will never, ever have time to catch up with piles and piles of magazines.  Magazines on the the couch, on the table, the floor, on the nightstand, in the bathroom too.

What do you do if magazines are  multiplying in your sleep, getting you further and further behind?  Try any and all of these 10 Decluttering Tips to lighten your load:

1)  Reduce volume by being picky about what you allow in your home, discontinue all magazine subscriptions that you are no longer reading.

2)  Do a major purge to give yourself a clean slate. Let all of the unread magazines go so you can read only the new information coming in.

3)  Recycle, recycle, recycle.

4)  Share a subscription with someone else.  Read only what you want and pass it on knowing your friend won’t want outdated info.

5)  Take magazines to your local library, libraries will often sell them to raise a little bit of money for programs.

6)  Read magazines in your local library, sit and read what peaks your interest and go home without them.

7)  Check out your favorite magazine websites for articles & recipes.

8)  Just say no to magazine fundraisers instead of trying to be nice by ordering something you don’t want.

9)  Donate old magazines to a local hospital.

10)  Donate old magazines to a local doctor or dentist.

You will let go of a lot of guilt when you let go of a lot of magazines, just do it, trust me!  Click here for more helpful home decluttering tips.
