Thoughts from Clutter Clear
Slow down! Limit the activities in your life and
in those of your family.
Let every person (over age of 3)
share
responsibility
for keeping their home clean, neat, and
organized.
Save money and time –
grocery shop only once a
week.
This applies to on-site and on-line shopping, to families
of all sizes, and to individuals.
Aim for a "neat-enough" home! If floors, rooms
and surfaces are picked–up and uncluttered, your home is
"neat enough".
At least once a week buy nothing at all from any source — in-store,
catalog or on-line. However, do not "make-up" another day for the
no-purchase day!
Provide wastebaskets throughout the home. Teach everyone how
to use them, when and where to empty them, and to return them to where they
belong.
Reduce paper coming into your home by cancelling subscriptions to at
least two (2) consumer, leisure, news or popular magazines each year. Public
libraries lend most of these items.
Practice your equivalent of "smelling the
roses" often.
Moving thoughts from Clutter Clear
If there is a move in your future – even several
years hence &ndash begin preparing now, because:
-
moving can be emotionally draining and physically tiring;
- advance planning reduces last minute frenzies, and keeps you
in charge;
- time is needed to make decisions about what to give away,
keep, or sell;
- many realtors say uncluttered, well-maintained homes are
easier to sell.
Clutter Clear eases the moving process by helping
clients:
- de-clutter the present home, making it more marketable;
- weed items no longer needed or worth keeping, and arranging to
recycle them in some way;
- organize packing in the old home, and helping them
"settle-into" the new home;
- in any other way needed.
