Are you stuck with your clutter?

 How to overcome the inability to declutter.

Inaction, apathy, disability, exhaustion, resistance, and lack of time contribute to clutter blindness and the failure to declutter.

Change comes from within.

  • You have to decide you deserve better.
  • You have to decide you need change.
  • You have to take action.

Have a vision. Set goals.

  • Break down the steps to reach the goals.
  • Schedule time to reach the goals.
  • Get help.

Get household members in on the action.

  • Give them specific tasks.
  • Teach them how to do tasks.
  • Set consequences for non-compliance or resistance.

Take action.

  • Go for it.
  • Repeat the steps until goals are reached.
  • Maintain daily goals.

Pay for professions, if you cannot do the job yourself.

Notes

  • Use music to “swing” the mind into action.
  • Reward yourself for reaching the goals—not with more stuff.
  • Organize after decluttering.
