Self Challenge Against Clutter

I have been browsing a couple of web sights to mostivate myself.  I need to get a handle on the clutter in my home.

  • clutter off of surfaces:  kitchen table, dining room table, desk, tall boy (bedroom)
  • car, I have allowed the floor behind the passenger seat to accumulate 'stuff
  • Pick an area or theme (holiday, summer, etc) abd organize (this will challenge me)
                    in the basement
                    bedroom closet
                    upstairs closet
  • Make lists
Some ideas to help me:
     'Rotation Box'     don't display everything, store some objects in a box and rotate things
                                     few months

     'Come in Handy Box'     when full, something must be discarded then add new item          
                                           
     'Clear a Surface'     remove 10 items to a basket and spend 15 minutes around the house
                                        putting them away

A good tip also is to de-clutter first and analyze storage needs then find right system to keep organized.   I am putting off getting these jobs done so my first list is to keep this written on paper to remind me and to physically check off the jobs done.  I tackled another drawer in my bedroom, yeah!

                                     Well done is better than well said.
