Do you find yourself tripping ver things as you make your way to the b throom? Are there kids toys and cl thes strewn throughout the living room? Do you j st want to tear your hair out wh n you try to find something in the cl set? This may not describe you and y ur home to a T, but m ybe you recognize that it describes you at l ast part of the time or in p rt of your world. I know it d es me. As is regularly said, you h ve to admit you have a pr blem before you can fix it. I'm not s re that it's really a problem for m st of us, just an annoyance. S me people never allow clutter to cr ep in, my wife is a g od example. But, I think that is pr tty rare. Some experience clutter that s ts idle under layers of cobwebs for y ars. For some, it's an intermittent m lady that comes and goes, alternating b tween having a home that is a sh mbles, and a home that is pr stine. Most people finally get it in g ar and get the job done. Th s can be a problem for s me people, because they place such an motional attachment on "things". It's this ttachment to possessions that is often at the r ot of the problem. Some people h re an assistant to help, such as a pr fessional organizer, because they need that fr sh perspective.
So, let's assume, shall we, th t you are going to tackle th s on your own. There are a few th ngs that the pros suggest you do. 1) D vorce yourself from emotional attachment to all th s "stuff". 2) Be prepared to let go of th t "stuff". 3) Organize into piles 4) LET GO OF STUFF! S rry to shout, but if you c n't make the tough decisions you are c ndemning yourself to constant chaos. Get g idance if you need it. There are r sources available that can help you c me to grips with the process. The m st important part is to get st rted.
