It took me awhile to understand the flylady method but I adapted her ideas to what suits me. I think I went more extreme then she does! I have nothing stored or stashed away in a closet or drawer except in my sewing room. If it isn't used, it's out of here. I have one box of keepsake items that mean a lot to me but seriously I rarely look at them. They will be for my girls to decide to keep or not. I guess having to clean out two great aunts houses and was so overwhelmed with 'stuff' they kept for years it makes me cringe when I see closets and drawers full of stuff.
