Easy Ways To Avoid Extreme Cluttering

By Christopher Wallace


In these times, adults are enjoying their free time more than ever. According to reports, more adults are waiting to start a family but taking part in things that make life more enjoyable. Taking fun classes, going to special events, and even doing something out of the ordinary can make a nice work life balance. On the other hand, they may find themselves overlooking seemingly small things, like cleaning their home or getting rid of unwanted items. Although extreme cluttering does not happen overnight, it can sneak up on a person.

This also happens to the person who procrastinates when it comes to doing dreaded household chores. They may feel as if they have done enough but somehow still manage to lose items in the clutter. While many may use being extremely busy as an excuse, there are some ways to get the cleaning done effortlessly.

While there is no one type of person cluttering happens to, it seems like the frugal or procrastinating types seem to be the most common victims. People who carefully watch their money often have a deep desire to keep things around for as long as possible. If something no longer works but can be repaired, they will do it as cheaply as possible.

Once a time has been set aside, the best approach is to rid the home of things that are not being used at that moment. Things of value that are out of season or need minor repair should be set aside with a due date to store or make functional. The idea is to have only things that are going to be used within reach, otherwise, it is just taking up unnecessary space.

Some people do their quick cleanups by just placing things inside a box or drawer. This may work for a minute but eventually, it will become frustrating when small objects become hard to find. However, when it comes to storing seasonal items, a large, secure box that fits easily into a closet or other enclosed space, is a good idea.

Sentimental pieces can be difficult to part with and should not be considered junk. If there is some visual appeal, a suggestion would be to place on a shelving unit with complementary pieces. Those items that do not fall into this category may be candidates for offsite storage if there are no solutions for keeping it out of the way.

Quick storage solutions include under the bed boxes, stackable containers, and things that hang vertically that can go on a door or inside a closet. While this seems like a lot, the best choice may be to visualize how things are stored and for how long. It also helps to be conscientious of spaces that are likely to get damp, like the car trunk or rooms with moist air.

Another way to take the dread out of cleaning is to have others join in. This should be done with goals in mind and it may help to have a favorite playlist going in the background. Once the job has been completed, friends and others who helped out can be rewarded by the host with delivered food, gift cards, or something they can truly appreciate.
