Save Yourself From Extreme Cluttering

By Christopher Wallace


In these times, adults are enjoying their free time more than ever. According to reports, more adults are waiting to start a family but taking part in things that make life more enjoyable. Taking fun classes, going to special events, and even doing something out of the ordinary can make a nice work life balance. On the other hand, they may find themselves overlooking seemingly small things, like cleaning their home or getting rid of unwanted items. Although extreme cluttering does not happen overnight, it can sneak up on a person.

Some home dwellers may make a joke about how messy their home is or their dislike for doing housework, what they sometimes fail to realize is that they are placing the safety of their guests at risk. That big pile of nothing that has yet to be sorted out can fall on someone. Certain odors can trigger allergies or aggravate the respiratory system of someone who is not used to breathing stale air.

One practical approach is to schedule time and use it to complete a particular task. If a person finds there is no time, they need to make a choice or two that will equate to no less than half an hour. Routines that can be sacrificed are online window shopping, talking on the phone, or watching repeat television shows.

Once a time has been set aside, the best approach is to rid the home of things that are not being used at that moment. Things of value that are out of season or need minor repair should be set aside with a due date to store or make functional. The idea is to have only things that are going to be used within reach, otherwise, it is just taking up unnecessary space.

One way to look at the situation is from a point of being able to solve a problem. For instance, a person may need to use a sewing machine to repair a clothing item. While digging around, there is an older machine with minimal functions that will not do the job but has sentimental value. However, the same person may find they have other machines in need of repair and eventually they find what they need.

If time is limited, write down what must be done every day in terms of going to a job or household obligations. Then note hours of rest or when recreational activities are taking place. This is usually the time when people are likely to drop on by but this may have to put on pause for a while.

Quick storage solutions include under the bed boxes, stackable containers, and things that hang vertically that can go on a door or inside a closet. While this seems like a lot, the best choice may be to visualize how things are stored and for how long. It also helps to be conscientious of spaces that are likely to get damp, like the car trunk or rooms with moist air.

Keeping a clean home or office is essential to good communication when people stop by for a visit. They should not have to wonder if a creature is going to pop out from nowhere or if they should keep their hat and jacket on upon entering. Making an environment inviting can actually improve the social standing by allowing others to see a person is a positive light.
