Do Hitch
A simple way to reduce clutter is to "never waste a trip." That is, a trip upstairs, to the kitchen, to the office down the hall: whenever you're walking somewhere, look around for an item that needs to be taken there & let it hitch a ride. Return those shoes to your closet, that stapler to your colleague, your surfaces to zen. |

Don't Hesitate
Ditch the idea that all messages need to be carefully crafted & perfect. If the thought strikes you to thank, check in on, ask a question of, or otherwise communicate with a friend or coworker, just do it. Send that email, make that phone call, write that postcard if you like -- just get the ball rolling. |

Get Plugged In The thoroughly modern problem of not enough room on the power strip can be solved with these little gadgets: tiny extension cords that convert an outlet-hogging charger box into a slim, one-outlet-using citizen of the strip. One of those small changes that makes life easier. |
