Still Decluttering the Car

What are the essentials needed in your car?

• A flashlight, jumper cables, insurance and registration (in a safe place).
• Some things are not essentials but come in really handy. Things like: A first-aid kit, pen, pencil, a couple of envelopes, sunglasses, tape, scissors (for wrapping last minute gifts), a couple of CDs (just a couple of CDs).
• Your type of work will determine what other items that you need in the car. A good idea is to have a plastic box in the back or trunk of the car so that you can keep your necessary items together and they won’t be thrown about.

Children’s backpacks need to be in the trunk of the car. Train the children to place them there so that when you stop suddenly there won’t be heavy objects, like books, flying around.

Make it a point to limit the stuff that you carry in your car. You and your family will like a clutter-free, tidy car. It makes driving a pleasant experience.

While you are at it, clean the fingerprints and dust from the car seats and other surfaces where dirt accumulates. A clean car smells clean.

When you have cleaned one corner of your life, you will have the desire to declutter other areas in your life that need it. There is lots of good info for this in Declutter Fast.com. Or just click here:
