Clearing Clutter From Your Home – Part 1

  • Posted on March 31, 2010 at 1:00 am

What should we do with all the stuff we have in our house if we do not have enough storage space or closet? Should we simply close our eyes and throw it or should we buy decorative boxes to hide? This seems to be my biggest problem. Waiting company and so I tried to clean, but I still run into the same problem I had for a long time. I have new items that I want to read the paperwork, I want to finish, some form of art or computer project that I want to work on, or things that I brought from the shop that I have laying around the living room or dining room. As I begin to clean, I must first do something with all these “extras.” Then I began to collect everything and take it to “table” in my room where nobody goes, but me and my husband. The problem with that is that whenever I have company, which is always where the “extras” and eventually “the table is now piled so high that I forgot some of the mess below . Well, now I have to put it all away but I have nowhere to put it. This is one of the greatest challenges of my life. I wish I had more space to keep things that are important to me, but my house is simply not big enough. So I have to decide what I want to keep and what I need to throw. Unfortunately, many years of marriage and education have left me way too much to store. This leads to problems with parts of my house is a mess, even if the “stuff” is very important to the family, and many plans and projects that are left unattended, but must be taken. Examples of some of the things I’ve collected this year: the birthday cards from my children, Valentine and birthday cards from my wife and new clothes that do not need to return to the store. I have a box of memories of my children and 12 years of photos I started to sort of Christmas presents for each of my children. I have not finished the job but I still “Plan” to get it. There is a bag of baby clothes for a baby shower, plus a bag of clothes (some new and still have price tags on them), another bag of gently used clothing and assorted stuff that I made to give away to charity. All these things always end up in my room every time the company has, somehow, they never caught they belong to or taken from my room. Let us discuss my plan.
