I love shopping online, especially for folks that live far away from me. This makes my life easier and saves me time.

If a task occurs to you and you have time to work on it, just do it then. This lessens the stress of knowing that you have something to do and it is not getting done.

I find that my new Kindle is helping with the clutter. There are 4 fewer books in our house since I got the Kindle.

Find a way to express yourself. Journal, paint, do crafts, dance, participate in yoga or martial arts.
