I now limit myself to two subscriptions, Family Fun and Country Living. I only keep the current issue and might possibly clip one or two ideas from CL. FF is available digitally, so I no longer clip from them. The old FF magazines get put into a craft bin drawer for collages or donated to the early childhood teachers at school. The old CL magazines get left in waiting rooms. Or I put them out with the recycling. I catch up on fashion and makeup when I get my hair cut! The salon has all those magazines!

So i made binders filled with plastic sleeves and pulled out those pages I enjoyed looking at or reading as well as those with good ideas I may want to consider. I now have a few of them, some are just color ideas, others are for decor or how tos. looking at htem is almost as though looking at a brand new magazine only I like everything and there are no ads to confuse me. That is what works for me. When we moved from an apartment to a new house, I wanted to decluter a lot but could not part with my interior design and other home magazines.

I originally found out about them on another blog and then forget the website name, I'm a magazine junkie and trying to pare down but it's much easier to get rid of them when I can go back to view the ones I love online.

So I started flagging pages as I read. Then later, when I have some down time, I hope online and visit the coordinating website. A search usually pulls up the article. At that point you have several options: - Pin it onto Pinterest - Email it to yourself (where you can organize in inbox folders) - Clip it with a program like Evernote, etc. I've regained my sanity, I can then pass on magazines intact to friends, and it's a clutter-free process!

I love magazines because they are a quick read for inspiration and do not take the time commitment that a book does and as the mother of 5 kids I just don't have the time for books much (although I am trying to find the time because reading is important!) that being said I recently decided that I need to pair it down some with the magazines, I had baskets of them in just about every room. First course of action was to cancel my subscriptions to anything I was not really enjoying, next was to see if any of the magazines had free digital issues that I could read on my desktop or iPad (some of my techy magazines did!) and I canceled those paper magazines. Now I am on the task of going through 5 magazines a day (fun!) and using my iPad camera and evernote I am organizing articles, blog topic ideas, recipes, etc that I find worth keeping. It is amazing to find that most magazines thatni have been keeping around only have 2-5 things in there that I deem worth the keeping! I am a total magazine junkie!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Usually, I keep my favorite magazines under my coffee table to peruse when I am bored. I run into this problem all the time! I’m glad I’m not the only one.
