What Is Your Situation?
Create space in your life
Because our busy lifestyles warrant continuous maintenance to keep an orderly environment, a key to having a comfortable and inviting home is for it to be clutter-free.
A quick daily tidy is less time consuming then taking hours to sort out your home when it gets out of control.
Take a look at your home environment
- Walk around your home with a pen and pad and make a Master List noting down your main cluttered areas, marking if they are large or small piles
- From your Master list, highlight the items that cry out to you for attention now!
- Collect boxes & bags for grouping your clutter that you will keep, donate or dispose of
- Consider the end result and the storage solutions that you will require
- Take note if you have possessions that make you feel sentimental or reflect on your past
- Do you see lots of memories in all rooms, and realise no new ones have been created?
- Now this is where you can start your de-cluttering process
The main reason for having clutter in the home is because we don't find a home or place for these related items. So often we don't know where to put it so it just gets put in any spot. Before long all spots become cluttered and management is out the window.
By giving these items a home they will be much easier to maintain and use.
- Magazines, books & papers
- Toys & games
- Clothes that are too big, too small and are just right
- Dirty clothes, alterations, seasonal clothes
- Sewing machine and materials
- Art & craft items, school projects
- Sports and leisure items
- Fishing, picnic items and anything else related
- Garage sale items (if you want to have one)
