POPSAn imaginative use for your garage: car storage Although this article was written four years ago in 2004, it is perhaps even more valid today in 2008. The article mentions giving things away on Freecycle. Since 2004, the freecycling idea has caught on... big time. There are many other networks now: fullcircles.org; reuseitnetwork.org. Over 5 million people in 88 countries are using these networks to declutter, and simplify their living spaces and their lives.

POPSMoving soon? Lighten up BEFORE you move! As a veteran of too many moves, we've always discovered AFTER WE MOVE that we have too much stuff! When it comes off the van, we typically discover we've got a lot of stuff we didn't know we had; stuff we don't need; stuff we don't even want! It's just amazing how much stuff we humans accumulate! This little article is worth reading a few weeks BEFORE you move!
