Leah's Friday Favorite Website 41pounds.org

This is a post from Leah, our terrific organizer in Atlanta, always filled with useful organizing ideas--thanks Leah!

One of my absolute favorite websites for organizing is a group that stops junk mail and catalogs. It is called 41pounds.org. 41pounds fittingly is the amount of junk mail the average American receives each year! The easiest way to organize your 'stuff' is to not even have it come into your house in the first place. I have been using 41pounds for about 2 years, and have gone from several catalogs a day, to a few a month (only the ones I really want). It is very easy to navigate, and at anytime you can email 41pounds to stop other junk mail or catalogs that are coming in (some companies are very persistent). It is much easier to remove yourself from the list and not receive the junk mail, than it is to spend time sorting through it all. There are added benefits, I'm not ordering as much from catalogs which saves money and, it helps to keep my house clutter free!
