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.
