Quote by Sorted! The ultimate guide to organising your life - once and for all

“Editing is a big part of organising. It's about selecting the best and letting the not-so-good go... Life is like this. There's lots of stuff that doesn't matter: things that you're 'going to do'; outdated, broken or not-so-good stuff... Be an editor every day. Constantly reassess and you'll find that the things that don't matter easily slip away.”

“The books were in no particular order, and Lundy found the process of sorting them remarkably soothing, involving, as it did, a strange sort of scavenger hunt through the entire shack. Books had been used to prop up tables and level out shelves; they were piled on surfaces where books had no business being and tucked under the edge of the thin mattress of the Archivist's bed. In the case of books that had become load-bearing, Lundy used her school ruler to carefully note their heights and went searching for rocks or pieces of scrap wood that would do the job as well, if not better. In the case of books left too near to water or exposed to the air, she rolled her eyes and whisked them away to literary safety.”

“A TIDY SPELL" I've just been through a tidy spell, I tell you it's a verity, I've sorted out the things to keep, The things to give to charity. I've sorted out my ties and belts, I've sorted out my shirts, I've sorted out my coats and slacks--- To part with some it hurts. I've sorted out my shoes and socks, I've sorted out my shorts, I've sorted out so much, in fact, That now I'm out of sorts. -by Richard Armour”
