精简生活小招

Deal with junk drawers

搞定杂乱抽屉

Crack open that drawer you know you are afraid to open.It's time to do some much needed cleaning!

赶紧砸开那个你一直很怕看到的抽屉吧，是时候好好清理一番了！

First, pull out any items you can easily identify and know you will use and set them aside. Second, get rid of anything that is broken, expired, leaking, damaged, mismatched or missing a mate or working part.

首先，把那些你一眼看出还能使用的物品挑出来放一边；然后扔掉那些过期破损或残缺不全的东西。

Third, donate or give away any sealed items or products you no longer want or unnecessary duplicates you do not need (do you really need five can openers if there's only two of you in the house?)

最后，捐赠掉那些保存完好但你已经不再需要或已经拥有的物品。（要是你们家只有两口人，有必要用到5个开瓶器么？）
