Keep the Clutter Down, Don't Let it Overflow |
|
|
One way to keep clutter down is to provide dedicated space/containers - baskets, shelf space, plastic tubs, hangers, hooks - for items which tend to accumulate.
Now this doesn't sound new, but the system won't stay uncluttered unless you commit to NEVER LETTING IT OVERFLOW! Art supplies spilling out of the tub? Thin them out. Your daughter has three robes but only two hooks? Donate one. Too many magazines for the basket? Time to take them to the library or used book store. Bought too many cake mixes on sale? Have a tea party and invite all your friends or bake the extras and meet your neighbors with gift in hand.
If you don't exceed the dedicated space for stored items, you won't find yourself in piles of overgrowth. Now, all you need to do is go through the house and sort your belongings, choose the best storage solution for you, and then never let it get bigger than your containers.
