How do you
feel about wastebaskets? That's right, you read that
correctly - your attitude toward your wastebasket will
have a profound and - yea verily -- mystical impact on
your paper clutter.
Do not - I repeat DO NOT - think of your wastebasket as
an evil enemy who gobbles up all your important data.
It is your sweet and kind, loyal and true friend who
needs to be nurtured and fed.
So feed your wastebasket.
Also, buy a wastebasket for every spot in which paper
clutter accumulates. You might whine, "But a wastebasket
looks dumb in my dining room." And to that I retort,
"Pray tell, do you think all that paper stacked on your
dining room table has an intelligent look ... as opposed
to that dumb-looking wastebasket?
Now here is a wondrous fact about wastebaskets: they
come in attractive colors and styles. Yes, they do. You
may even find one that you love.
BEWARE: When you go on your wastebasket-shopping-binge,
don't buy little bitty teeny-tiny dainty ones unless you
have little bitty teeny-tiny dainty stacks of papers. If
you have mega-paper clutter like most of us, then you
need mega-wastebaskets. Lots of them.
