The Five Ways To Ease The Process Of Eliminating Clutter
I recently had a conversation with a friend about clutter. She shared that at times there was so much clutter around her home that she simply concluded her home was in a stage that she referred to as CHAOS or Can't Have Anyone Over Soon. We talked further and what she has discovered is that when there is too much stuff in a space, clutter simply cannot be organized. Of course eliminating our belongings can be quite a challenge. Words like, "I may need that sometime" can quickly come to our mind and shut down the activity. Eliminating clutter is not necessarily an easy process if you haven't done it much in the past. What are the top ways to ease the process of eliminating clutter? 1. Identify Criteria (Or Rules Of Thumb) For Sorting Ahead Of Time 2. Create The Uninterrupted Time To Do It 3. Remind Yourself Of Your Desired State 4. Know What You Are Going To Do With The Stuff That Goes Out 5. Celebrate Your Success (c) 2004 Donna P. Lendzyk Donna P.
