Hot Hot Hot! Spring Cleaning Tip

Soooooo yesterday there was a fire in my building and I learned a hot new organizational tool for getting rid of clutter.

When you're trying to decide whether to trash/donate/keep a certain item, perhaps you could ask yourself:

1. Do I really need this?

If no, get rid of it. If you say "Well, I miiiiiiight," then ask yourself:

2. How will I feel if my apartment catches fire and firefighters throw this thing out the window, so it gets stuck in a tree for everyone to see...


...or if it winds up strewn across the street for the general public to peruse...


...or if it becomes part of a large pile being inspected by a pack of fire marshal types?


If the answer to any of those is, "Retarded," then you can afford to get rid of the item.
