Say Good-bye to Clutter
Now that you have a good system to remember your tasks at hand, the next big step will be to get rid of clutter. Clutter diminishes a smile, dampens the spirit, and so should not be tolerated.
It is very easy to find any given room in a cluttered mess, but it takes some hard work to de-clutter and organize.
Many people say that one of their favorite things to do when stressed out is to clean! Hard to imagine, right? Well, it is true. Cleaning gives order and purpose to your life, even if only in smaller chunks at a time.
We are not just talking about moving around clutter from one shelf to another. We are talking about de-cluttering every room of your home. Say good-bye to the dust, say good-bye to the junk say hello to room to breathe and move around! Now, doesnt that sound delightful?
Start out by drawing up a list of what you absolutely want done. Think about those leaning tower of Pisa papers in the den, then move slowly into the family room. See any piles of old photos just crying out to be placed in a photo album? Write that one down. How about those piles of clothing sitting in the bottom of your daughters closet just waiting for a mothers touch. Write that one down, too!
By now, if you are clever, you see a list of very workable, one-at-a-time chores that can be assigned throughout a busy day. The idea is to get started and work your way around. By the end of the day, you will have a beautiful, uncluttered home as your reward!
Do not become discouraged if your attempt to enlist your husband and children runs a-muck. Just write them down on your list as those who require an attitude adjustment and then save that chore for next time. One can hope!
If you are altogether frank about it, you really do not want a second pair of meddling hands anyway; some chores are best left to only one pair of hands. That way you can be sure that the chores will be done right the first time.
Be encouraging.
Getting Organized Clutter
Below are good tips to help you to remember it all: 1.
How you care for your kitchen is a hot clue to whether you are giving proper attention to your own nourishment and that of others. This is used to hold items like notepaper, pens, reading glasses and whatever crafts items you like to do in the bedroom. This must mean what is hidden away is not in the way. What is the time of day when they are at peak performance (mentally most alert)? Once storage needs have been identified, one can create the required shelving, cabinet, and wall-storage system to best suit your needs.
