5 Ways to Win the War on Clutter By: Dietta L. Stewart
I had probably walked past that closet a hundred times, each
time telling myself how badly it needed cleaned. But each time I
had an excuse. A good one too, Id get to it next weekend.
Finally, after many weeks of putting it off I opened the door to
my youngest daughters closet. It had been declared a hazardous
area, I would need special equipment before moving in. Armed
with my 13-gallon trash bag I took a deep breath and ventured
in. What a mess. A half hour into the task I wondered if there
was an end to the mounds of Barbie shoes, jewelry beads,
crayons, (hey, these are brand new crayons!), Barbie clothes,
doll house furniture You get the idea. About 3 hours and 5, yes
5 trash bags later, I was finished. The closet had been seized
and conquered. I had won one more battle over clutter. I
wondered if Id ever win the war. I decided that I could. Im
going to show you how you can too. Clutter is a monster that
grows and multiplies without warning and appears when we arent
looking. Clutter is a thief of peace and balance. It takes up
space in our homes, and our hearts. Clearing the clutter out of
your life is surprisingly liberating. Even after cleaning a
small space like a drawer in your kitchen you will suddenly feel
lighter. Choose today to restore energy and vitality to your
life by clearing away the clutter. Here are 5 easy ways to get
you started. 1. Define Clutter. What does clutter mean to you?
In order to defeat something you have to know what it is youre
fighting. 2. Take one area at a time. Sort through your stuff,
clean and dust as you go. Get rid of things that no longer fit
who you are. 3. Do regular clutter maintenance to keep it from
getting out of control. Create a a schedule for major clutter

Create a space for everything. 5. Decide what areas wont be
clutter free. Unless you live by yourself or with someone who is
very neat, you have to deal with other peoples clutter. If we
let it, clutter can cause many the argument, heartache and
headache. To alleviate the stress of trying to control someone
elses clutter accept that some areas will always be cluttered
unless the person or people creating the clutter changes or
cleans it up. This is okay. Every where we have lived my husband
has created a spot where he puts everything he brings into the
house and leaves it there. Magazines mail, tools, you name it.
In the past I would let this frustrate me and I tried my best to
change it, after over ten years of marriage it still hasnt
changed. I dont think it ever will, so I have learned to live
with it. When Im in the mood I clean it up. When Im not, I
leave it.
