"Organizing Clutter"

Having too many things can be very challenging. Organizing clutter will help you to live comfortably with the things you like and get rid of the rest.

First of all, you have to decide what clutter really is.

And then you have to find your own definition of organizing, your own level of comfort about being surrounded by things. Some people need lots of breathing space and prefer a minimalistic home, others like to look at their possessions.

Nowadays, we all own many, many things.
A lot of those are useful and brings us joy.

Whenever something makes you feel good, it is not clutter!


But what about all the other stuff that just sits there, taking up valuable space, having to be cleaned regularly?

Everything that stands around slows energy down.
Moving, sorting and purching your stuff will give you lots of energy and will have a wonderfully freeing effect on the way your life flows! Look through the free ideas for organizing clutter to help you get started.

And then organize a garage sale to deal with the things you don't want anymore.

Owning too many things can drain your energy. You clutter up your space, and at the same time, you clutter up your life and your thinking.
The outside is a direct reflection of the inside, so chaos without means chaos within.

But - on the other hand - a clear, beautiful, ordered space will bring you peace of mind!

That doesnt mean that you have to live in a minimalistic home. It just means that you really enjoy and treasure the things you own and display.

So, how do you get there?

To start off with, think about why you have collected so many things in the first place.

Is it that you reward yourself through shopping? See article on organizing your finances if that is the case.


Is it that owning lots of things makes you feel secure?

If you truly enjoy the things you have, even if there are a lot of them, it is not necessary to purge much. Just find a place for everything that you own and always put it back in its place. Then you are truly organizing clutter :-).

Often however we literally try and cover up deep-seated fears and issues we do not want to address with lots of stuff.

That way we can stay stuck in "not getting organized" instead of dealing with what is really frightening us.


It can also be that you let things slide for too long and now getting organized seems too big a job to even get started.

If that is you, let all of us help you! Read Lets get Organized for a step by step approach. Here you can also post an invitation for help!

Soon you will enjoy the beauty and clarity that comes from being surrounded only by things you love and use!
