I used this author's book Taming the Paper Tiger to organize my files. This book on de-cluttering goes to the source of the problem. Why DO you hold onto things?
On her website LoveItOrLoseIt.com, she has a free list of 10 tips to get organized.

Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life : How to Use Feng Shui to Get Love, Money, Respect and Happiness

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

If you'd like to try Black Hat Feng Shui, this is a fun read. Is it real? Here's a rationale from the introduction:

If we accept the message of both quantum mechanics and the great spiritual teachers, then every smidgen of our universe affects every other. From this viewpoint, there is no inside or outside. Everything is contained in consciousness, which has no boundaries. So the placement of your bed has meaning in relation to the rest of your experience. The bed is a representation of your beliefs and emotions on the physical dimension, which manifest differently, and seemingly disconnected by you, on other dimensions. When your bed is moved with intention, the belief and emotion dimensions also move.

The great 18th century scientist & mathematician Leibniz discovered that photons, the basic particles of light, exhibit intention and purpose. If we take light to be the whole spectrum of vibration, not only visible light, then everything is composed of photons. That means the universe is intentional. And since we have been given the ability to intend, we are co-creators of the universe that we individually experience.

Every thing, even the sticky front door that doesn't open all the way, has meaning. Every thing, every action is intentional, sometimes conscious, sometimes unconscious. Feng shui brings the unconscious in our environment back into consciousness. That brings the beliefs and feelings back into consciousness. Then we have choice and can create our universe consciously.

The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

This author's theory is that procrastination comes from a feeling of being overwhelmed and never having time for fun. At the heart of his program is the "Unschedule." You schedule in fun stuff first, then fit in time for your dreaded project in half hour increments. Use this to finish your novel, or dissertation, or anything else you've been putting off. It works!

Compact Fluorescent Bulbs

First to recommend

18 people recommended this item

Description

If every American home replaced just one light bulb with a compact fluorescent, we would save enough energy to light more than 2.5 million homes for a year and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of nearly 800,000 cars.**

I bought a dozen of them at 1000bulbs.com, the 15 watt are only 1.89 each +shipping, lights equivalent to 75 watts. A really simple way to save the world, & save on your electric bill too.
