I must admit, magazines are a weak spot for me. I love the fresh ideas and new content delivered to my mailbox each month. However, with my new fascination in blogging I have noticed I can find much more information and ideas than any one magazine could ever carry.
My sons school did a magazine sale fundraiser last December so I told my mother in lieu of a Christmas gift she could get me my favorite mags. I must say I have had a bit of overload this year. Here are a few tips to deal with magazine overload:
If magazines are piling up take stock and see which ones you are losing interest in and cancel your subscription instead of renewing.
Keep a magazine handy for reading material when you know you will have to wait somewhere. (ex. doctor's office, or pick up line at child's school)
Skim magazines as soon as they come in and tear out any interesting articles for reading when you have time. File them in a "To Read" folder.
If you want to keep articles for future reference, create a three-ring binder with page protectors you can label by category.
Don't forget to recycle those magazines when you are done. You can also donate appropriate magazines to waiting rooms or schools.
As for me personally, I have been storing my articles in a binder. The binder was full so I went through it the last couple of days and tossed the articles that were no longer relevant. Most of the articles I keep include images of organized rooms, great organizing tips and interesting storage ideas. Instead of keeping the articles all to myself I decided it would be a great idea to scan them and share them with you all. Over the next couple of weeks you can look forward to some real treats.
Remember to keep those magazine subscriptions under control!
