By Jessica Fox


Living in a messy house or office can have a negative impact in your life. Many individuals suffer from different psychological disorders because of extreme cluttering. Clutter does not only affect how living spaces look, it affects health. Untidy places cause stress and anxiety in a person's life. You are unable to focus on your main goal because clutter interferes with your thinking. Finding something in a pile of papers or clothes is overwhelming.

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 wardrobes are filled with unwanted stuff. Take time to check your drawers and closet. Take out clothes that are too small or make you look bad. Some clothes become small before they are worn out. Such clothes should be placed in a sorting basket. Pick all the unwanted papers lying on the floor. You can to throw them away or recycle.

Clutter piles up quickly in areas that do not receive much attention. Some areas like bedrooms are always messy, especially, under the beds. Check under beds, remove everything you consider clutter and place it in a sorting bin. Clean the space and arrange what is left in the right place.

The next step is usually tiresome and time-consuming. Ask a close friend or relative to help you sort clutter. If you feel comfortable doing the work alone, create space within the house for the sorting exercise. Take a close look at each item to determine if it is worth keeping. It is difficult to identify what should remain in the house and what should go to the store or charity. However, you can make wise decisions if you consider some factors.

There are reasons why you want to keep some items. If an item reminds you of someone dear or a special event it is worth restoring it in the house. Determine how often you utilize these items.

It is easy to overcome extreme clutter without difficulty if you divide sorting piles into three categories. The first category should include things you use on a daily basis. Make use of a bowl to place car keys, pens, and other small items. Tools should be placed in a toolbox and shoe accessories in a small box. This makes the place tidy and helps you find something without much difficulty.

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.
