Clutter Clearing- Helpful Tips

Posted By: Mick

Clutter Clearing: we all hate to do it but we know we have to face it sometime if we are to live in clean, organized surroundings, so here are some helpful tips to enable you to face  clutter clearing with confidence.

You Have to Face Clutter Clearing Sometime!

Stand in the middle of your living room. Get a feel for the area. But before you start to imagine nice things, your thoughts get interrupted by the alarmingly growing clutter that is threatening to swallow your house whole! You look over to your left, and you see books, piles of books, some dating back to your elementary school days.  There are piles of papers and magazines but you aren’t exactly sure what they are about or the last time you read them.

Now you glance to your right and you see your children’s toys sprawled all over the place, the empty pizza box from last night’s late movie marathon, or maybe the accumulated pizza boxes of many movie night marathons.  There’s trash, maybe some odds and ends, candy, hair brush, miscellaneous pieces of clothing.  And is that the corner of the wrapped baby gift (for your best friend that you thought you sent 4 months ago) sticking out from under heaped piles of the unfolded laundry in a chair?  You know you have to face clutter clearing sometime, and from the looks of things sooner is going to be better than later!

Face Clutter Clearing With Confidence

Sadly, there is no easy way out.  Burning down your house or crying won’t help you accomplish anything.  As long as you don’t burn down the house, there will still be clothes to put away, books and papers and mail to sort through, trash to be thrown away.  You made the mess.  You have to clean it up.

As daunting as it may seem, clutter clearing is not that hard if you approach it in the right way.  The first thing that you have to do is to stay focused. Failing to prepare to succeed is like preparing to fail.  If possible, send the kids to the house of a friend or family member so that you can work in peace and without interruption. Clutter Clearing is harder when you are distracted!

Next, list all the clutter that you see, prioritize the list from most to least.  Where is the most clutter?  Where is the least?  This will help give you an idea about what you need to focus on first.  Before you know it, you’ll have cleared much of your clutter, you just need to put your mind to it and stay on task.

After you’re done with your list, take out everything. Place items no longer desired or needed into large bins for later sale, donation, or trash.  Next, gather all your cleaning materials. Don’t just be clutter clearing, be cleaning as you go. Once the area is clear of items, sweep or vacuum the floor, dust the cabinets or shelving, use glass cleaner on any mirrors or glass surfaces.

Clutter clearing your home or a room may be a tough thing to face, but it’s a good one.  Once you’ve experienced the positive results of having a well-organized, clean and tidy home, the better you will feel about the room and your home, and even yourself.  You’ll be happy you took the time to clear the clutter.
