Clutter 101: Why Do We Keep Clutter?
http://www.mallosworld.co.uk/organize-it/2007/03/01/clutter-101-why-do-we-keep-clutter/
Clutter
I’ve found myself with a fair bit of spare time at the moment so
I’ve decided to give the home a really good and long overdue tidy
and de-clutter (4 big bags of rubbish and counting). So as a
natural progression, I thought I would write a little series on
dealing with clutter. In this first part I will look at what sort
of attitudes make us keep so much stuff. Next week I will talk
about some approaches and tactics to clearing it all out. As
always let us know your thoughts :)
1. It was a gift/present.
If a gift had any practical use to you it’s likely it would
already be serving its purpose and/or have a suitable place in
your home, rather than be taking up space. If it could be used,
use it now, otherwise give some careful thought to getting rid of
it (keeping one or two big gifts for the sake of not offending
someone is understandable, but bear in mind the majority of time
they won’t even remember).
2. It’s expensive/It cost me a lot of money
Well if it’s lumped in with your clutter, it’s either served its
purpose or been a big waste of money unfortunately. Either way,
deal with it! Its costing you even more money to have it stuck
around taking up room. Try selling it if it’s worth that much,
but if it’s not shifting, see below…
3. I might be able to sell it on someday
Why do you think you can or will sell it in the future? What’s
stopping you from selling it now and clearing some space? If its
some sort of investment like an antique or collectors item store
it in an appropriate place (remember, I’ve said it before and its
corny but a place for everything and everything in its place),
otherwise put it on eBay or have a car-boot sale. Get rid of it now.
4. It might come in useful one day
If you have already had the item for a while and you havn’t used
it, it’s safe to assume you are not going to be needing it any
time soon. Simple really.
5. I would feel guilty throwing away so much stuff
Recycle it then, give it away to your friends or charity shops.
There are so many options nowadays which are out of the scope of
this particular article so I suggest you do a google search for
recycling and clutter in your particular region/country (if there
is any interest I will add to this series with a few
links/suggestions for recycling, let me know in the comments).
6. I don’t have time
Make time now and save loads later! You won’t have to dig around
in the back of boxes, struggle with space whenever you buy a new
item, stress about losing a bill in the masses of paperwork
stuffed in drawers. Once you are on top of the clutter in your
home it’s almost a natural (and quick!) process to stick with it.
7. I can’t be bothered
If you are reading this blog then I would assume you are
interested in becoming more productive and/or you want to make
some positive steps in your life. Getting rid of all the clutter
in your life is one aspect of that. De-cluttering your home is a
key step in de-cluttering your mind. It makes your whole living
streamlined.
