What is clutter? It is the “stuff” you are not using, don’t need, don’t love and don’t have room for now or ever!   Do you find yourself trying to clear clutter, organize and then reorganizing those items in your home or spaces? How can we clear the clutter?

It is estimated that up to half of the items we own create clutter. Do you think it is easier to clean an organized room or a cluttered one? You guessed it, cleaning an organized room takes significantly less time than cleaning a cluttered room.

Clutter not only fills up the spaces in our homes, offices, etc but it also creates stress and clouds our minds. Thus clutter can affect us in many ways: physically, mentally and emotionally too. Clutter may also waste valuable time and energy, which takes you away from the things you enjoy and love to do!  When your home and spaces are cluttered, this chaos limits your brain’s ability to process information and focus. Clutter is distracting unlike how you feel in an uncluttered, organized, and serene environment.

These are some of the common areas we experience a significant amount of clutter:  Closets, drawers, shelves, storage bins, medicine cabinets, purses, etc.  When was the last time you looked in your medicine cabinet and threw away all the outdated products?  Many times this eliminates at least half of the items in your medicine cabinet.  Or what about your “junk” drawer, can you find anything? Take everything out, clear the clutter and organize.

Organize and clear clutter now. Today is the day to toss it, donate it, or trade it for cash. Eliminating clutter will allow you to live in the present not the past or a future full of what ifs.

Start today and find organizational bliss with this simple rule: Don’t keep anything that doesn’t enhance your life or that you really don’t love. This seems simple but we have to be honest with ourselves to really begin letting go of that “fog” called clutter that fills our homes, lives and minds. It is about finding balance in all aspects of our life. The key to that balance is being organized. What are you waiting for, stamp out clutter with Get Organized with Bridges + Co now!
