Steps To Overcome Extreme Cluttering

By Jessica Fox


Clutter is not classified as a significant reason that leads to stress. It is important to understand that clutter plays a role in how people feel about their homes and workplace. Cluttered spaces make you feel stressed or draw your attention away from your main agenda. It is difficult to find something in a pile of unwanted stuff around the house. This makes you feel tired and anxious, reasons you should avoid extreme cluttering. Below are few steps to overcome the negative effects of clutter.

It is your responsibility to ensure spaces are clean and neat. The process of removing clutter is not difficult if you follow these simple steps. First and foremost go through your entire home, decide what is useful and throw away what you consider unwanted in a sorting basket. Items such as old magazines, toys, clothes, and shoes should go in the sorting basket.

Drawers and closets tend to hold a lot of unused items. Remove everything in your wardrobe and drawers. Inspect your clothes thoroughly, you will come across clothes you have not worn for more than six months. Such clothes may be too small or make you feel uncomfortable. Place them in your sorting basket together with shoes you have outgrown. Clean the drawers or wardrobe and arrange the remaining garments and shoes neatly.

It is always wise to clean your room at least once or twice a week. Many individuals throw items underneath the bed and forget to clean. This habit leads to extreme cluttering in the house. Check underneath your bed to get rid of items such as toys, shoes, socks, and clothing. Clean the entire room and place everything classified as clutter in one sorting basket.

Once you are done with cleaning, invest some time in sorting items that are in the basket. You will require a large room filled with light. Sort one item at a time and decide why you need it. If you feel the task is too stressful to handle it on your own, call your best friend to help you out. Someone close to you will give honest opinion why you should keep or get rid of an item.

There are several things you need to consider when choosing items. Ask yourself if you really need an item, when you intend to use it or how it affects you emotionally. Asking yourself these questions helps determine what is worth keeping.

Divide the sorting pile into three categories. Things like keys, pens, and notebooks are utilized every day. Keep them inside a container or box. This makes work easy when looking for an item. Place tools within a portable toolbox and store it somewhere safe within reach.

Clothes, shoes, and accessories should be evaluated carefully. Inspect your clothes to identify which ones fit well. Place those that fit well in clear boxes or hang them on a cloth hanger in the garage. This storage technique frees up space and makes work easy when searching for clothes. It is recommended that you give clothes, shoes, and toys to charity. Avoid throwing away items that can make an impact in someone else's life.
