Most people think about cleaning and organizing their home - at least once in a while. But how many people think about cleaning out their purse, briefcase or backpack? I mean more than once a year?
A lot of people just throw in their credit card receipts, coupons, notes and everything else into their purse and then spend a lot of time rummaging through it to find what they need. They never take the time to clean it out.
So - let's start by emptying your purse. Take everything out. Put things into "like" piles. Including garbage.
Now start by throwing out any "garbage". Old tissues, old receipts, old gum wrappers.....
Then get rid of any old, expired coupons.
Then throw out any old notes or scraps of paper.
Get all of the loose change and put it back into your change purse/wallet.
Anything that does not belong in your purse - get rid of it or put it back where it belongs.
Only keep the essentials in your purse.
The same thing goes for your briefcase. Empty it. Get rid of any garbage. Get rid of anything that is not a current project you are working on.
Backpacks. Kids tend to put everything but the kitchen sink in their backpack. Toys don't belong at school. Books that are months past due at the library should be returned. Reclaim your tupperware.
Get into the habit of cleaning out your purse, briefcase or backpack - at least once a month.
Your back will thank you!
