Do you tear pages out of magazines or newspapers? With articles, pictures, quotes and project ideas piled everywhere, I wondered why I bothered. Would I ever look at them again? I mean, really. They pile up in every room. Mixed in with my writing inspiration were clippings for craft projects, information on travel destinations I hope to see some day, pictures of rooms that inspire me to redecorate, and so on. It was a jumbled mess. And I’m certainly not going to sift through piles of this stuff when I need inspiration.
Then I got the idea for my writing inspiration box. First 
I bought a small pack of pretty folders. I labeled the obvious topics on them: Décor, Travel, Recipes, etc. I gathered up all my piles and began sorting. Some things went directly to the trash. I’d already tried it, it was outdated, or my tastes had simply changed. I set the writing inspirational clippings together in a different pile since I noticed most of these were small. I had a different idea for them.
