Extreme Cluttering Can Affect Social Life

By Christopher Wallace


Being busy happens to many people but often this is the result of having an active life. Often, people want to do more but sometimes a lack of planning can get in the way. Usually, these are the essentials that have a direct link to other aspects of life, like money matters or just having personal time. When extreme cluttering occurs in the home or business, clearing a reasonable path is the only solution.

This also happens to the person who procrastinates when it comes to doing dreaded household chores. They may feel as if they have done enough but somehow still manage to lose items in the clutter. While many may use being extremely busy as an excuse, there are some ways to get the cleaning done effortlessly.

One practical approach is to schedule time and use it to complete a particular task. If a person finds there is no time, they need to make a choice or two that will equate to no less than half an hour. Routines that can be sacrificed are online window shopping, talking on the phone, or watching repeat television shows.

Even if a person in charge is exceptionally brilliant or is very popular, this visual eyesore can be seen as a personal weakness. It also says a lot about their ability to organize and create some sort of structure within a space they own. The great thing about reducing clutter is that a lot can be accomplished in little time and some planning.

Often it is as simple as noting what is not needed around the house. This may be easier said than done for the person that has large piles of unused or overlooked items sitting in their home or office but breaking things down into categories is best. Another approach is to tackle the room with the most clutter or is the greatest eyesore.

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.

Another way to take the dread out of cleaning is to have others join in. This should be done with goals in mind and it may help to have a favorite playlist going in the background. Once the job has been completed, friends and others who helped out can be rewarded by the host with delivered food, gift cards, or something they can truly appreciate.
