Stop Carrying Clutter

Ladies, how many of you have purses double stuffed with junk, napkins, receipts, and make up? Stop carrying the clutter around. A purse is meant to carry necessities while on the go such as - your wallet, keys, inhaler, cell phone, etc. Women lead such busy lifestyles and often feel the need to keep everything on hand at all times, in order to multitask effectively. This practice can be a blessing and a curse. The key to eliminating purse clutter is to one, stop before you start. Before placing an item in your purse- ask yourself, "Can I go an entire day without this?" "Will I need this to make a purchase or to show identification?" "Will I need this at a definite time while out?" The answer to these questions will allow you to easily determine what stays in the purse and what goes. Also, at the end of the day when you arrive home - sort through your purse completely and immediately toss all unnecessary receipts, paper, candy wrappers, etc. Start fresh the next day!

If you wear make-up and can't leave the house without it - keep a small make-up bag full of your everyday cosmetics. Upon arrival of your destination, leave the cosmetics in the car, with the exception of small items, such as lipstick, compact, or mascara. If you need your cosmetics while at work - leave your make-up bag in a drawer at your desk or cubicle.

Hopefully, after reading this - you empty your purse and ask yourself the 3 suggested questions. Stop carrying the clutter and start creating solutions.
