Do you cringe at the sight of some spaces in your home because they are a disorganized mess? Do you avert your eyes when you pass by, promising yourself you will get to it one day? Perhaps you have every intention of organizing that neglected space but feel overwhelmed at the thought of starting, so you put it off indefinitely?
You don’t have to be a hoarder or a pack rat to sometimes feel like one. Many of us have living areas that overflow with items accumulated over time. Sometimes the clutter has hijacked an entire room and the only way you’ve learned to deal with it is to shut the door and pretend it doesn’t exist.
Spaces that have been overtaken by clutter have a way of robbing you of the calm and relaxation you could otherwise feel. Your home shouldn’t contribute to your stress but be a place of refuge instead.
You have two options: you can do it yourself or hire help. If you prefer to hire help consider hiring Stephen Ilott from decluttering.ca. Sunrise Cleaning works closely with him and highly recommends his services. You can find out more information about his services at www.sunrise-cleaning.com/services.html
If you prefer to do it by yourself here are some helpful hints:
The first step in tackling the issue is to take a look at the spaces that need organizing and make notes about what needs to be done. Are there items to be sorted through – some to keep, throw out, give away? Or just move? Do you need to buy containers like boxes, filing cabinets, albums, shelves or other storage units for those items?
Once you have figured that out, the next step is to decide on what space or room you are going to work on. You don’t have to do it all at once. If you are very busy, give yourself a set amount of time to work on the job. Maybe you only have an hour to devote to it that day, so do that. Set a timer if you have to.
Now comes the sorting part. You will probably find some things that can be thrown out or recycled. Others can easily be stored elsewhere. Decide what items have sentimental value and where the best place to keep them would be. Is it in a box, an album or scrapbook of some sort? Perhaps it’s on a shelf or in a memory box. Some things may need to be set aside until you make that decision.
Once the clutter is gone, it is amazing how clear your mind can feel! You may have opened up a space that can now be used for other purposes like a spot for reading, a computer nook or a play area for your children. Getting organized does take time and effort. But once it’s done, it’s a great stress reliever and a great sense of accomplishment!
