The great philosopher William Morris once advised: “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”
This is probably why the two most dreaded words in the English language for me are “spring cleaning.” I never know if I’m going to make the cut.
There are other dangers to spring cleaning, such as filling yet another box full of cords and cables that MIGHT go to something you still have; doubling your collection of bits of string and bread twist ties; and wondering what’s about to collapse considering all the random screws you found lying around. It’s nerve-wracking.
