40 Bags Hits a Snag
Posted by Danielle Bean in Homemaking on Monday, March 29, 2010
Here we go with a bit more “moblogging” for you ... Danielle style.

The author, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal, realized her home hadn’t been seriously de-cluttered in two years and wondered if such a thing could be accomplished without taking time off from work.
So she divided her home into zones and tested three popular approaches (one of which is like the 40 bags method, which is what made me think of it).
Read her results at the link.

Today I discovered there is a snydrome out there called, “The Impostor Snydrome.” It afflicts mostly women who are high achievers – and who actually do highly achieve but feel that they are in truth impostors.
It kind of clicked in with me – because a lot of times I will get these compliments from people saying something to the point of “Gosh, I don’t know how you achieve all that you do,” or “How... READ MORE
