Clean your kicks
Scummy shoes can really ruin a look. So take a few minutes while you’re watching TV to rid your boots and shoes of last season’s mud and salt residue. Maybe even throw on a coat of leather protectant if you’ve got it.
Next time you slip shoes on, you’ll remember how fond you were of them when you bought them.

Purge bad MP3s
While sitting on the train or in the waiting room listening to your iPod, put it on random and flick past songs you love and want to keep. But when a song comes up that you’ve always meant to purge or are just not that into, mark it with a one-star rating.
Then when you get home and plug your iPod into iTunes, you can organize the songs by rating and simply trash all the one-star songs you’ve been meaning to clear out for ages.
