    I think clutter coincides with impulse buying and emotional state. So just as in all things taking a moment to consider my actions before accumulating items will be helpful.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use Reusable Bags
    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

    If I forget to bring in a reusable bag, I will only purchase enough items that I can carry out with my hands. It's also a good way to make sure I am not purchasing more than I should. I tend to make impulse buys at the register.. i.e. gum, nuts, snack mix etc.
