Help retrenchment necessary? The library can help

There are two which he brought in a cleaning frenzy the Great Purge of 2015 called.

I spent weeks shred credit cards for Clinton and Bush years. I could not have been put to an end books outdoors in the city, Kitchenware I have rarely found new homes and the clothes he had worn no more libraries for years, were packed in containers donation. I'm not minimalist, but the other elements that came out of my house, most understand why "Magic put away that life changes" Marie Kondo 1.5 million copies were sold.

By NPR, the average size of an American home has tripled in the last 50 years. Within these budgets according to the Los Angeles Times, it has an average of 300,000 items. A quarter of homes with garages two cars were too much to fit in cars inside. Only 3.1 percent of children in the world live in the US, but have 40 percent of the toys that are consumed worldwide.

The Christian Science Monitor recently, I published an article about the offspring of baby boomers cringe when their parents say. "One day, all this will be yours" As someone who refuses to cookie cutter collection of offers and porcelain weddings, I am.

Then there are my children. My son goes to college this month and my youngest will be a first year at high school. Downsizing is a concept that go from abstract to concrete. Yes, my house has less things before you, but you can always more - with less.

If you feel the same, Iowa City Public Library has shelves resources you clean and organize any room in your home as well as books and DVDs exploring the minimalist lifestyle help. It is so easy to stop and check one as they launch their own purges. Here are some of the titles that I recommend:

"Organization of real life: clean and tidy 15 minutes a day" by Cassandra Aarssen. This is a great book for those who want to organize, but quickly lose interest projects.

"Let It Go" by Peter Walsh examines the emotional challenges that can accompany the reduction and helps readers to develop strategies to make decisions to achieve their life goals.

"Goodbye, things: The new Japanese Minimalism" by Fumio Sasaki appear similar to "swap magic durability Up" but Kondo is a guru of the organization, Sasaki is a regular guy who decided that enough is enough. It is free of everything that does not need and discovered a new way of living.

Minimalism is not for everyone, as storage containers and marking is not for everyone. But I'm sure that most of us have a drawer or closet that is never completely closed, which could benefit from a cleaning frenzy. start there, and if you do more, do go for books in the library that your march forward help.
