Do you want to get rid of clutter? Clutter seems to have taken over our lives now that we are a world full of storage buildings and over indulgence. It seems that we are buying everything we see. We must begin cleaning out closets and drawers and removing stuff from counter and table tops in every room in the house to become clutter free.
This seems easy but where do you begin? Start by finding every item that you no longer use, need or want and get rid of it. You can donate items to local charities, have a yard sale or use both methods for decluttering. If you hold a yard sale, what doesn't sell can be boxed up and donated to the local shelter or other charity. You will be amazed at how much space you now have.
Next, go though those books and magazines that you have piled high on shelves and stuffed under the bed. Go through them and get rid of those that are out of date. They can go to the recycling bin. You can cut out the pages you want to keep and put them in a folder or punch holes in them and keep them in a large binder.
When you have read a book, unless it is a collectable, do not keep it. Donate it to the library or find a book trader and trade it for other books. The same goes for movies, DVD's and CD's that you don't watch or listen to anymore.
CD's and DVD's can be put into CD towers. These towers aren't just for CD's, either. If you have an office, you can use them by your desk to hold all of the items you find yourself constantly searching for. This will help to begin the office organizing process which is a great way to rid the space of clutter.
The kitchen is the one room in the house that usually has its own junk drawer. There are dozens of items in the kitchen that were bought just because you thought it was interesting. Take all of the gadgets in your kitchen and get rid of any you have not used during the past year. Organize the rest of them in drawer organizers or use a utensil holder for items you want on the counter top.
Remember, if you don't use it, cannot wear it or if it is out of date, get rid of it. Take everything that is left and put it in its place. You will have a new sense of freedom when you rid your life of excess baggage in the form of clutter!
