- 0:00Speaker 1: Here we are just a few days into spring time
- 0:02Speaker 1: for spring cleaning. Light fmcuvey and Christine in the morning,
- 0:05Speaker 1: and you have some spring cleaning hacks.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I think these are really good. This is
- 0:09Speaker 2: from personal organizer Christina Fallon, and she said, these are
- 0:13Speaker 2: just a few simple tricks hacks if you will, that'll
- 0:17Speaker 2: help you get through the spring cleaning faster.
- 0:18Speaker 3: Pardon me while I grab a pen and take some notes.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Okay, First off, kubby, we have to stop using our
- 0:23Speaker 2: dining table as a storage zone.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Oh, we all do it.
- 0:26Speaker 2: I guess we all do it.
- 0:27Speaker 3: I feel better.
- 0:28Speaker 2: It's just me.
- 0:29Speaker 3: I feel better. We've got some stuff on our right now.
- 0:31Speaker 2: It's holding packages and mail, like you know, junk mail.
- 0:35Speaker 2: This has to go, she said. Coffee mugs belong near
- 0:38Speaker 2: the coffee maker things, you know. Put everything back in
- 0:41Speaker 2: its place. Get so clear that off. Follow the twenty
- 0:43Speaker 2: twenty rule. If an item can be replaced within twenty
- 0:46Speaker 2: minutes for under twenty dollars, and you're debating whether to
- 0:49Speaker 2: keep it, let it go.
- 0:51Speaker 3: We've had stuff on our coffee table since twenty twenty.
- 0:54Speaker 3: I thought that's what the.
- 0:55Speaker 2: That sounds familiar too. Yeah, start with your closets easily
- 0:59Speaker 2: said than done. That's just hurt. She said. Closets are
- 1:01Speaker 2: the true heartbeat of a home. They reveal what people use,
- 1:05Speaker 2: collect and shove into the corners when they don't know
- 1:07Speaker 2: where else to put things. When items meant for other
- 1:10Speaker 2: rooms end up there, the door closes the clutters, out
- 1:13Speaker 2: of sight, out of mind. You need to clear out
- 1:15Speaker 2: those closets.
- 1:16Speaker 3: God, I feel so better hearing this because we're not alone.
- 1:19Speaker 2: We are so not shop with your space in mind.
- 1:22Speaker 2: This is interesting. The real estate in your home is
- 1:25Speaker 2: more valuable than any bargain, even a thirty roll pack
- 1:29Speaker 2: of paper towels. Ah, that is a big light bulb.
- 1:34Speaker 3: So if you don't have room for it, don't buy,
- 1:36Speaker 3: even though you know you'll need them.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Well, yes, because she's saying, if it's taking up space
- 1:42Speaker 2: in your home, that's more valuable. Right, Okay, okay, And
- 1:46Speaker 2: try not to get too sentimental. This is where I
- 1:48Speaker 2: need help. Many people hold onto objects because they're tied
- 1:52Speaker 2: to meaningful moments, worried that letting go of them means
- 1:54Speaker 2: losing the memory. Fallon suggests taking a photo to preserve
- 1:58Speaker 2: the sentiment and then rely seeing the objects itself.
- 2:02Speaker 3: I can tell you're struggling just saying that.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Oh yeah. And Eric and I differ so much in
- 2:05Speaker 2: that way.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Uh huh.
- 2:07Speaker 2: He doesn't hang on to anything, and I hold onto everything.
- 2:10Speaker 3: My waff, my waft.
- 2:12Speaker 1: My wife taught me a saying that clutter attracts clutter.
- 2:15Speaker 1: She read it somewhere because if you have clutter in
- 2:18Speaker 1: a corner and you see clutter, where do you want
- 2:21Speaker 1: to put that clutter?
- 2:21Speaker 3: Yeah, just in the corner with everything else?
- 2:23Speaker 2: Yeah, you just pile.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Yeah, there's piles everywhere. So if you can get with
- 2:26Speaker 3: a clutter, you'll stop collecting out of the clutter.
- 2:29Speaker 2: She's absolutely right. And seven, I think our minds would
- 2:33Speaker 2: be clearer, are just our beings would be clearer if
- 2:36Speaker 2: we could just clear the clutter. So once again I
- 2:38Speaker 2: put out the plea, anybody want help?
- 2:40Speaker 3: Four four three sixty three give us text. We're hiring,
- 2:44Speaker 3: all right, you got the news coming up, Christine?
- 2:46Speaker 2: I do. And I think this is really cute because
- 2:48Speaker 2: kids were asked what do you want to be when
- 2:50Speaker 2: you grow up?
- 2:50Speaker 3: What did they say? We'll find out
