Here you will learn how to make either the same amount of things fit in a smaller place, or what to get rid of. In short, it's going to instruct you on how to make the most of your space. As humans, we tend to collect a lot of things, and usually not on purpose. Who knows when you might need that bird-shaped cookie jar? You could bake a lot of cookies any day now. And who knows when you might need extra bird seed? Granted, you don't have a bird feeder, but maybe it would come in handy as a Christmas present. These are the things we tell ourselves. The miscellanea we collect that we really don't need or that are inefficient uses of space we justify with a 'maybe it will be needed in the future' is usually shoved into a closet or an attic somewhere (or worse, taking up space in your bedroom). But it is tough on our psyches, to have so much clutter. Humans work best with clean, organized work spaces (most of the time). So, we'll get down to it: here's how to make more space in your home. Contributor Bio:  Davidson, John John Davidson was born in Barrhead in Renfrewshire in 1857. He spent his childhood years in Greenock, and after working as a pupil-teacher and briefly attending Edinburgh University, taught in schools in Glasgow and Perth. In 1989 he moved to London where he made his living as a journalist and critic. Several dramas had been published while he was still in Scotland, but in the 1890s he turned to poetry, and published several collections which were very popular: In a Music-Hall (1891) and Ballads and Songs (1894) amongst them. These were poems which chronicled urban working class life, and his sense of outrage at the poverty of the ordinary man, as expressed by the much-anthologized 'Thirty Bob a Week'. At the beginning of the new century he moved away from the lyric and began writing in blank verse which incorporated much scientific language; this series of Testaments were not as successful as his earlier ballad style, though Hugh MacDiarmid was to pay tribute to Davidson's attempts to combine poetry with scientific ideas. Despite the early popularity of the poetry, financial difficulties constantly plagued Davidson; he had had no choice but to continue with the journalism he disliked in order to support his family and other dependents. Sadly the money worries, combined with ill-health and depression, drove him to committing suicide in 1909. Contributor Bio:  Smith, Rachel Rachel Smith was born and raised in small town Iowa.
