THIS IS CLUTTER
A CLUTTER Expert {someone who helps you to organize your things and stuff } says: “Most people tend to keep unnecessary stuff, some are used to store things for so many years; either they don't know how to deal with them or they don't want to.”
He continues “For some people it's a habit .They are used to buy too many things and they don't get rid of their old ones.”
He adds “For others it's more emotional. It's hard for them to let go of that stuff, to them it represent dear old memories of their childhood.” For example, one of Oprah's guests was keeping a chest X-Ray that belongs to her father from about 20 years ago. Another example, a woman keeps a broken doll that her parents gave to her when she was young.
Oprah’s expert has plans for both sides; those who don't know how to get ride/organize their stuff and others who don't want to since it represents more than items to them; they symbolize special moments in their life.
The expert says they have to make a decision to honor their special stuff. They have to clean it out of dust and organize it in a proper way that allows them to look back at it from time to time , may be with their children , and remember those dearest memories. They can also get rid of stuff that bring bad memories [ illness- fights] and any unnecessary broken things. They will feel much better, happier, and more peaceful as organizing them, they honor their dearest memories in the only way that they deserve.
THE PLAN:
- THROW OUT anything you don't use for 12 months.
- Use a STOPWATCH, give yourself 5 minutes to organize every drawer or box.
- Arrange SIMILAR things together.
- LABEL your stuff and use containers and boxes.
- DONATE stuff that others may need; you can help them.
- CLUTTER INTO CASH stuff that you can't donate, you can sell.
- RECYCLE bottles-glass.
- Use CLEANING SUPPLIES to clean the dust.
- After organizing you can change the DESIGN of your place and refresh it up.
At the end, when your space is organized, you will feel better.
Decluttering your space helps declutter your life.
