Every Wednesday I share a link that I consider “Google Reader Worthy,” meaning that every single post, article, picture, fact, etc. is so great that it deserves to be in your Google Reader* so that you don’t miss a thing.

This week’s worthy Wednesday pick: Unclutterer

Unclutterer spends every day fighting the good fight against clutter. I have to admit, when I worked outside the home, I did not need Unclutterer as much. I was barely home and owned few possessions anyway, so my apartment stayed fairly neat. But now that I’m home all day (and thus can get into mischief when it comes to my personal possessions), and I’ve added a husband to the mix (never a good idea when it comes to simple housekeeping), my place gets downright cluttered.

Enter Unclutterer. Unclutterer is ingenious in that most of the clutter solutions it comes up with are simple to apply and cost very little, if anything.  As the blog suggests, they are all about paring down the clutter in your life, not buying things to help you organize. (I believe I read on there somewhere that bringing something new into your house sort of defeats of the purpose of trying to fight “clutter.) I have implemented many, many of Unclutterer’s solutions, but I think the most important lessons I’ve learned from Unclutterer have had to do with office organization.  

With that in mind, here are some Unclutterer sample posts:

Six Tips for Going Paperless

Let Go of Your Clutter Crutches (Yes, Unclutterer often gets philosophical. You’ll learn something.)

Make Your Kitchen Magnetic (We have this, partially, and it is amazing.)

Also, don’t forget to check out Unitasker Wednesday. This segment features ridiculous products that appear to have been launched into the market to confuse the gullible.  Check out the Rachael Ray Garbage Bowl. A bowl. Just for garbage when cooking. Please.

I also want to brag that, for once, I finally beat Unclutterer at something. Earlier this week they suggested using touch lights in dark places to illuminate your hidden clutter. I’m already on that, though all it really does in my case is allow me to shift the clutter around when I’m looking for something. But the touch lights are there!

If you could use a little less clutter in your life, add Unclutterer to your RSS Feed Reader. And try to forget that I just asked you to clutter your RSS feed reader with another feed just now.

*For the approximately 75% of you that do not embrace your Google Reader or other RSS feed reader, these things basically allow you to plug in a web address (not all addresses, but many) and then, while you are off writing, or working, or playing, they collect all the new posts that cropped up on that site while you were gone. This makes it a breeze to come back and read all your regular blogs, news outlets and even Craigslist categories without missing a thing.  One again, I will shamelessly suggest that you try it now by plugging the address http://blog.jennescalona.com into your Google reader or other RSS feed reader of choice.
