It’s frustrating to look for your keys when you are already late for work. When you are looking for an important document and you get lost with hundreds of papers in your table. If you definitely cannot find the remote to change your TV channel, then you are cluttering your space and your home.
If you want to have a simple and organize home then all you have to do is to end clutter. Eliminating clutter might be difficult especially if you get used to just throwing stuff in places. When organizing your home keeps these two words in mind, “End Clutter”, that might get you energized.
Take Control of your “stuff”. The first thing to remember to end clutter is take control of the “stuff” that you’ve been keeping. Remember how someone would ask you, “What’s in that box?” and you answered, “Just stuff”, well, you have to get that box out of your house now. Go through most of your things and think hard if you really need them. If you don’t need them and you didn’t even know that they exist, then they’re clutter. Go and take a big trash bag and start throwing your “stuff”.
Take papers a trip to the shredder. Going home and you want to relax at your small office room but there are papers in the table, or finding your table in your workplace with stack of papers. Look for those papers that dated back two years ago, go to the shredder and shred them. Leave the important documents behind and take those documents you have forgotten existed.
Buy files and organizers. After picking out the papers or documents and the “stuff” that you think are important and still needed, the next thing to do is to organize them. You can’t leave them behind and make another cluttering mess. Put those important documents into files or organizers. Put specific labels in those files and organizers to easily locate the documents when you need them. After which, put them into a shelf and it’s important that once in a while you check those papers again and think which is not important anymore.
Control the impulse to shop. To end clutter is difficult if you are an impulsive shopper. Try to control your hands when picking out things in the department store. Always think of what you need and not what you want. The most difficult stage after ending the clutter is to maintain the mess-free home. Impulsive buying is a way to bring back clutter, so always remember to control.
To end clutter is a difficult thing to do. Waiting for the right moment and the right driving force to eliminate mess will not get you anywhere. Decide to eliminate the mess in your home or office and invest hours on ending clutter because it might take forever if you don’t do it ASAP. Once you follow these steps, you’ll be mess free and you can finally find your car keys where they are supposed to be.
