Come on in, grab a cuppa coffee and let’s talk about the C word… “Contagious Clutter”. I guess it kind of goes with what’s happening today, we are afraid to touch it.
Or the flip side to clutter is “it just multiplies”.
I have followed many of the Organizing Authorities and put into practice what is the BEST practices to redefine those cluttered space so that you are not feeling:
- Anxious
- Helpless
- Overwhelmed
Can I get an amen? That is how I feel, when it starts to pile up.
Sometimes when you finally get started doing your Organizing ….. and you don’t know where to begin, try…
“10 Minute Rule”
This will help with the feeling of anxiousness and dread.
What is the “10 Minute Rule”, you ask? I am glad you and so many others have asked me this question, I love the fact that I can help you and others if even in a small way.
10 Minute Rule
When you go into a room:
- Just do something for 10 minutes.
- Clear the Clutter
- Give the Room a Mini-Organizing Fluff
Funny thing is it doesn’t sound like a lot of time but just do that lets say every time you think about it. HABITS! HABITS!
If you are not really sure you can do this, I have “faith in you” but in case you need just a little more of a “push”, I put together a amazingly easy and quick checklist for you to follow.
I am just like everyone else I struggle to come up with creative and easy tricks annd incentive to keep ahead of the clutter. That is one of the reasons I decided to figure this out, come up with solutions, and hopefully make it fun. If that’s at all possible when it comes to organizing and keeping a tidy house. I hear you. I discovered that after much “trial and error, this plan really worked.
Try it and see if it works for you. I would love to hear how it worked and how it did not work for you. People love to know. “Sharing is Caring”
So if you have been looking around the house and it has been making me nervous you now have the “POWER” and the tools to change that.
You Got This” it won’t be hard to make a conscious effort..
SIMPLE TIP:
Every time you get up to get a cup of Coffee, Eat Lunch or go to the bathroom or whatever room you are in or going into USE THE RULE.
Once you do it a couple times it becomes an unconscious habit.
“You won’t believe how easy this is. Try it and you will be already on your way to being Clutter Free and Organized.
