Save Yourself From Extreme Cluttering

By Christopher Wallace


In these times, adults are enjoying their free time more than ever. According to reports, more adults are waiting to start a family but taking part in things that make life more enjoyable. Taking fun classes, going to special events, and even doing something out of the ordinary can make a nice work life balance. On the other hand, they may find themselves overlooking seemingly small things, like cleaning their home or getting rid of unwanted items. Although extreme cluttering does not happen overnight, it can sneak up on a person.

Some home dwellers may make a joke about how messy their home is or their dislike for doing housework, what they sometimes fail to realize is that they are placing the safety of their guests at risk. That big pile of nothing that has yet to be sorted out can fall on someone. Certain odors can trigger allergies or aggravate the respiratory system of someone who is not used to breathing stale air.

While there is no one type of person cluttering happens to, it seems like the frugal or procrastinating types seem to be the most common victims. People who carefully watch their money often have a deep desire to keep things around for as long as possible. If something no longer works but can be repaired, they will do it as cheaply as possible.

However, problems arise when items begin to stack up around the house and eventually collect dust. Although intentions may be good in terms of using or fixing at a later date, the problems multiply when a person goes out of the way to find a storage container or space. The reason is that these unused items are still taking up precious space in the home or office.

Some people do their quick cleanups by just placing things inside a box or drawer. This may work for a minute but eventually, it will become frustrating when small objects become hard to find. However, when it comes to storing seasonal items, a large, secure box that fits easily into a closet or other enclosed space, is a good idea.

If time is limited, write down what must be done every day in terms of going to a job or household obligations. Then note hours of rest or when recreational activities are taking place. This is usually the time when people are likely to drop on by but this may have to put on pause for a while.

The same applies to kitchen accessories and supplies, hardware tools, and other items that tend to take up space but may have some sentiment attached. Most people find that separating these items and placing in separate storage is the best solution. Since every situation is different, it may be wise to assess space and what a person can afford so that these items are not lost or destroyed.

Keeping a clean home or office is essential to good communication when people stop by for a visit. They should not have to wonder if a creature is going to pop out from nowhere or if they should keep their hat and jacket on upon entering. Making an environment inviting can actually improve the social standing by allowing others to see a person is a positive light.
