Is your love of books creating feelings of overwhelm? If so, it may be time to evaluate your personal and business book collection. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

1. If you didn’t like the book, let it go.
2. If you are not going to refer to it again, let it go.
3. If a book has been sitting in a stack to read for YEARS, let it go.
4. If the book has no sentimental value…that’s right…let it go.
5. Buy an electronic reader like a Kindle (I love mine!).
6. Create your collection only with books that you love.

Share the wealth with other book lovers by passing your unwanted books on to a friend, donating them to a library or selling them at a used or online book store.
