Deleting LOTS of Emails at One Time in Gmail

May 20, 2014 By Dana White 42 Comments

I've talked about paper clutter and how I have greatly reduced it. Whenever it comes up, though, people ask about email. Like I did in that post, let me be clear that I'm no Email Guru. At all. I'm the one who doesn't even mind the red numbers on her iPhone, remember? But I have GREATLY reduced the number of emails in my inbox over the … [Read more...]

Monday Morning Focus

May 19, 2014 By Dana White 10 Comments

Focus. One of my biggest struggles . . . But there's something about a Monday morning that (usually) brings it all in line for me. My mental to do list is just so clear, and . . . . almost . . . . fun. Before 8 a.m. today, I emptied the dishwasher, changed over a load of clothes, and made lunches. Oh, and had breakfast. No magical … [Read more...]

030 Teaching Kids to Clean Podcast

May 15, 2014 By Dana White 9 Comments

  It's Friday!! It's also a Friday in May, so this will be my post of the day. I usually put up a "real" post on podcast days too, but this week is just too crazy. I feel the need to apologize since my mother seems to have real issues with me podcasting at the expense of blogging. I'm 40, and I can do what I want. In this … [Read more...]

Being Okay with Better

May 14, 2014 By Dana White 37 Comments

When I decluttered that back corner of our gameroom recently, I discovered a lot of things in the pile were photos or wallhangings or signs that I knew I wanted to keep but hadn't found a place for yet. So I had to wrestle with myself a little/lot. Do I find a corner somewhere else to stash these things until I have time to decide … [Read more...]

Two Second Task – Test the Pen

May 13, 2014 By Dana White 20 Comments

I've written before about my resolve to not keep pens that don't work. And about how that is strangely difficult for me. But I'm adding another Personal Life Law. I shall henceforth and forevermore test every pen discovered during a decluttering project immediately, BEFORE placing it in the Pen Drawer. Really. I'm not sure why this … [Read more...]

Obeying the Door Prize Lady

May 12, 2014 By Dana White 4 Comments

I'm a rule follower. (Most of the time.) My stomach gets all knotty when I see someone stick his hand outside of the moving kiddie train, and I always count my items before I get in the express checkout lane. But really, I do NOT have to do what this stupid door prize ticket from who-knows-when tells me to do. (And let's all take a … [Read more...]

Storing Space Takers

May 11, 2014 By Dana White 14 Comments

It's official. I have moved past the point where my gut wrenches at the thought of giving up something so USEFUL!! Because packing and shipping was once my life when I sold on eBay all the time, I know what an awesome feeling it is to already have weightless, cushioney space takers in your cabinet when you need to ship an oddly shaped, … [Read more...]

Comfy Shoes For Mama – Reebok Skyscape Review #sponsored #MC #skyscape

May 11, 2014 By Dana White 6 Comments

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Reebok. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.  I've been working out. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning for months now. Why, yes. I am rather proud of myself. Thankfully, I have good … [Read more...]

029 Get People to Your Garage Sale – Podcast

May 10, 2014 By Dana White 2 Comments

After two weeks of getting a podcast up on time, I'm late again. If you've been missing earlier podcasts, I generally try to not make these my top post on the blog. (Mostly because my mother complains when I do!) That means that when I put one out, there is also a post goes up that day as well. That's not going to happen on a … [Read more...]
