Clearing Clutter From Your Home

Clearing Clutter From Your Home - Part 2

This is continued from part one of this article series. Please read that before you read this article. What can we do with the collection of things that we have saved over the years that have turned into clutter? Sometimes the stuff is new, even with tags still attached while other things are gently used and have been collected to give to charity. Every time you clean the house, you have to either clean around the stuff or move the stuff to clean under all of it. Many times you will have projects half finished and others that have not been started but the materials for those projects have been bought are waiting to be used.
We have gathered up all the scattered clutter so now it is time to do something with all of that stuff, the "extras". I need to decide what to do with all those "extras". Those collections of scattered clutter and are zapping my energy because I just don't know what to do with it all. Although I want to organize everything, I keep running out of time because there are always new projects and responsibilities that come up. So, it is now time, finally, to decide what I will do with all the scattered clutter that has been taking up space in my home.

The scattered items that have been collected includes everything that has caught my eye when I was in different stores, touched my sentimental journey of my family and children's past and been collected but is now mixed with all the stuff I have started at various times to organize. I bought 4 new photo albums, one for each child and 4 collectable boxes for the keepsake items for each kid, as well as scrapbooking supplies to finish the projects.

With Christmas around the corner, I am not going to be able to finish those projects but I will be adding more stuff as I get present and wrapping paper for Christmas. Once again, the stuff will be piled up with all the 'extras' and the problem will be compounded. I think it is time to hire a professional to come in and help me get this task under control. As most of my house is organized, I just can't seem to get the bedroom done because there is always something new happening.
It may be time to box up all the pictures and keepsakes and give them to each child to do for themselves. It certainly is time to take all the charity boxes and bags to a collection center. And any of the things left, discard. Then I will be able to really clean my bedroom, and the first thing to go is the collection table. Next, I am not going to buy anything new unless I get rid of something first. Finally, I will not start a project unless I am willing to finish it right then. It's either time to follow this plan or put out money for a professional. I think it would be wise to not get in knee deep with ideas and plans once I have everything, in every room, cleaned and organized. Pretty good plan, right?

What can we do with the collection of things that we have saved over the years that have turned into clutter? Sometimes the stuff is new, even with tags still attached while other things are gently used and have been collected to give to charity. Every time you clean the house, you have to either clean around the stuff or move the stuff to clean under all of it.
