SO, WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE CLUTTER FREE?

Well, not only did I NOT do anything remotely connected to clutter free or cleaning yesterday or today...well, so far today, you never know if I'll eventually get to it...I've just been sitting here messing on my computer all day. I did stop to eat, of course, duh!

So, to make myself FEEL like I might be making some sort of progress in the fight against piles of clutter and disorganization I thought I'd share another article.

Clutter Free Forever - Possible or Not Possible? by Mary Brown

Clutter free forever - possible or not possible could be the $64,000 question.

For those of you not old enough to know, there was a television show on in the late 1950's that was called The $64,000 Question.

Of course in order to win that big a prize you had to answer a question not many people would have the answer to. Get it? Is it possible to be clutter free forever doesn't have an easy answer.

Unless you've got servants or paid help you're probably not going to be able to achieve such an organized dwelling. But there are little things that you can do on a daily basis than can ease the look of disorganization.

Here are a few tips:

When you're done with an item, put it back where it belongs.

Return coats to the closet, not the nearest chair.

Throw pizza boxes, carry out containers and all junk mail in the trash right away - don't stash them on the counter in the kitchen. (Don't ask how I know that.)

If you take your shoes off when you come in the front door, take them back to the bedroom on the next trip you make in that direction. (Ditto)

If you have a 2 story house, put a decorative basket or container on the bottom step to hold items that need to go upstairs, and take them with you when you go upstairs.

Don't leave dirty dishes in the sink. The least you can do is put them into the dishwasher to appear clutter free.

CLEAR YOUR CLUTTER WITH A LITTLE IMAGINATION
By Marye Brown

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just sit back, relax and clear your clutter with your imagination? Just think of a sparkling clean room and poof no more clutter or disorganized areas.

Say, wasn't that a television show back in the 60's? You know, Samantha on Bewitched just wiggled her nose and there was a clean house. Too bad that's not how it gets done.

One way to spark your imagination on how to clear your clutter from a room or even a whole house is to visit the library and get some books and magazines on organization. You don't have to follow exactly what's in the books, but they'll help you see how to use their techniques and you can then decide how to implement them in your house.

You can also visit stores that carry organizational products. Most of the time they'll have displays set up on closet organizers, kitchen cabinet organization, shelving and baskets. Just walk around and think about how you can get your clutter under control by using some of these products.

As you're going through the library books or walking around the hardware store aren't you actually using your imagination? You'll be thinking or imagining how you can put these same ideas to use in your home.

Of course, if you're already the creative type, you can just take some time and think about how you can de-clutter and/or reorganize with what you already have on hand. That would be a cost saving measure, too!

However there's no imagination needed here for this easy to read and information packed book, Declutter Fast, by Mimi Tanner. Written by a former pack rat this book will give you the secrets to the best way to clear your clutter. Here are some questions you'll find answers for:

Where do I start?
How long will it take?
How can I do some emergency decluttering?
Can I keep my stuff and still be less cluttered?

If you've taken the time to read this article then I'd say you definitely want to get yourself organized. Go ahead and make the decision to find a clean house de-clutter plan and start on the road to being organized.
