10 Ways to Turn Your Chaotic Home Into A Clutter-free Space

By MiguelSalcido on February 1, 2012

A cluttered home is one of the most common problems in the world. Seemingly, anyone can relate to the problem of a messy or disorganized home. Reduce your homes clutter and make your life easier with a few simple steps.
 

10. Assess a Monetary Value to Your Space

Consider the amount you pay in mortgage, rent, or property taxes each month. This amount means that every square foot of your house has a monthly value. When considering whether to keep or discard an item, ask yourself: Is it worth the amount of space it uses? If not, throw it away.

9. No, You Probably Won’t Need This Someday

Most clutter accumulates because of the mistaken notion that you will eventually need it. After a year or two, clothes you don’t wear and items you don’t use are no longer necessary. Find a charity to donate your used item to, and you can feel good knowing that you helped someone in need while reducing your home’s clutter.

Enough Already!: Clear the Emotional and Mental Clutter to Create the Life You Want- Peter Walsh (Boek)

From Publishers Weekly
Walsh delivers a pitch-perfect reading of his guide to conducting a full-life audit and organizing one's six major spheres (relationships, family, work, money, health and spirituality). Walsh's analysis is clear and well-structured, and he presents his prescriptions in an even-keeled, candid voice, never veering into preachy or condescending tones. The first of the five CDs is imbedded with a PDF containing printouts (quizzes for self-analysis, exercises for implementing suggested strategies and a calendar) to use while following along with the audio. Anyone with chaos in one or more of Walsh's six categories will find this a fun and helpful listen. A Simon & Schuster hardcover (Reviews, Nov. 17). (Mar.)
