To avoid back problems, Peter suggests that your purse should weigh no more than three pounds. He suggests to put all of your makeup and personal items into a clear pouch, all your pencils, pens and electronic devices into a pencil case, and finally, use your phone to eliminate clutter by receiving receipt electronically, using reward apps instead of cards, and write grocery lists. He recommends going through your purse once a week to keep everything organized.

Peter Walsh challenges you to take only 10 minutes to go through all the items on your bathroom countertop and discard anything you’re not using. Then, take everything else off the countertop and put it into a cupboard in a plastic container or drawer. When you’re finished, you should only have a few items that you use every single day left on the counter.
