Re: Oprah on decluttering today. Watch It

Much of the program was the basic stuff like every time you purchase
something new you must rid yourself of something (toss, recycle or
donate). The important reminder for me was to establish a routine
everyday or once a week to constantly declutter. I am trying to clear
my studio table every Friday morning. A clean table creates order in
the entire room.

The car situation was classic. A family with a minivan and several
children in multiple sports were constantly rushing from school to
practice, etc. Their car was full of trash. The parents were in the
audience but the grandmother had cooperated and had the van trucked to
the studio. How embarrassing to have the contents of your car
displayed on national TV. It was obvious that the mother would go
shopping while the children were at practice. Bags of items purchased
would be buried under uniforms and fast food containers. There were
also lost library books, missing shoe, etc. Oprah then asked what the
house was like. The wife said the house was OK but the garage was bad
because when the children no longer fit in the car stuff was just
pushed into the garage. Of course Oprah knew the answer to her
question because she had a photograph of the garage stuffed with so
much junk there wasn't a walking path.

The show also visited two dorm rooms and showed the students how to
declutter and create zones. This was the segment which made me think
the show was a repeat. I just kept thinking how much money the parents
were paying to have three students housed in this tiny dorm space.

Can't think of the recommended book on decluttering but if you go to
www.Oprah.com I am sure she will promote the book.
