Great Ideas For Getting Rid Of Clutter

by Inspiration4Living.com

Are you looking for some ideas for getting rid of clutter?

Clutter happens to the best of households. It happens while you are looking right at it, and it does not take long at all. Before you know it, the table closest to the door, the spare room closet and the double car garage are all packed with stuff.

Actually, there are days when you take a good look at things and honestly wonder if you could qualify for the TV reality show: The Hoarders.

Of course, the best way to keep your home organized is to continually rid it of unwanted stuff as an ongoing project. When, however, for one reason or another, things do get out of hand, jump on the “getting rid of clutter” project as soon as time allows.

First, develop a regular schedule for cleaning and stick to it. Next, make a list of the areas hardest hit by mess and / or clutter – such as the pile of junk mail that needs to be gone through, the dishwasher that has become a catch all for everything but dirty dishes, or that kitchen space at the far end of the counter. Don’t forget closets and corners.

Most times, extra stuff is necessary and used often. It just does not have a permanent space of its own – a hat and gloves, the evening paper that has a recipe you want to cut out, the gardening equipment you’ll need the next time you have a minute to get outside, etc. Without realizing it, this stuff accumulates and becomes the bottom of a new pile.

Okay, you’ve looked and the task of getting rid of clutter seems overwhelming. Enlist family or some friends if need be – hey, soda and pizza goes a long way as far as motivation is concerned! You might consider shopping around for organizing units for your closets – both his, hers and for the kids and / or a filing system / unit for the office area. Don’t forget racks for shoes and organizers for kitchen cabinets.
