Know how to eliminate non-essentials; saying to yourself “I’ll keep this to wear when I’m painting the house,” never works! Learn how to give things away; there are all too many people in need, and plenty of organizations to help them. One thing’s for sure: a well-organized closet with a few choice pieces is the best way to start the day.   "
