Organizing Your Home: Take Ownership
This is an excerpt from Messies Anonymous about organizing your home:
Take ownership of your house one area at a time. When I lived a cluttered life, part of the reason was because I did not really think that I had the responsibility or the power to un-clutter.
Things in my house had the power. They could come and go as they pleased. And of course, they seldom left once they came in.
Now, I know I have both the power and the responsibility for maintaining clear surfaces. That means I can make a decision, right or wrong (and there will be some wrong decisions), to discard, move, or store any item or paper that is cluttering up my house.
You own the areas of your house.
Set a timer for fifteen minutes at a time, put on your battle attitude, and take ownership of the area you choose to work on. Do this day after day and battle by battle the war will be won!
Happy Organizing! Bridges
