To Keep or Not Keep

October 1, 2012/0 Comments/in Tip of the Month/by Janine Cavanaugh, CPO®

Tip:  If making the decision to keep or not keep is too difficult, do the following.  Pack up the items and label the container with a list of contents and the date the items were packed.  Store the container in an out of the way location for one year.  If you look for items in the container within the year, consider keeping those items only.  If you don’t, get rid of all the items in the container.
