If you have a stack of magazines that contain articles you really want to read again, or perhaps for the first time, do this: Set a kitchen timer for five minutes per issue. So for a stack of ten magazines, give yourself 50 minutes.

Flip through and only read headlines or read the table of contents to go right to intriguing headlines. Tear these pages out of the magazine. Staple multiple pages of an article together. Put these articles in a single folder, large envelope or decorative box. Label it (e.g. Reading Material).

Put it somewhere prominent, such as your bookcase. Now you can read, or re-read, just the good stuff at your leisure without having piles of dusty magazines gathering and transforming into clutter in your home.[ Back ] [ Next ]
