Sometimes getting some boxes or laundry baskets and just hacking away at the clutter that is bugging you is how to get the job done. Categorizing your clutter is often tedious and perhaps boring but it is almost always less painful, takes less time and feels better when it’s over than you initially imagine. If you should just NOT be able to force yourself to do it then call me. I love to do it. Actually I love to do it more if it is someone else’s clutter than my own (as evidenced by my hall closet right now and my desk space – shhh, don’t tell anyone). It is always easier to look at someone else’s situation and see through clear lenses than it is your own, in life or in clutter. So if you can’t afford a professional organizer or you don’t know someone like me who is starting up an organizing business and looking for Guiney pigs, then make a swapping organizing appointment with a friend. Sometimes it isn’t difficult to get organized, it’s just a dirty task that we put off. Spring is the perfect time for getting organized. The air is fresh and it just feels good. Putting off getting organized can waste so much of your valuable time (looking for things) and money (buying things you already have but can not find or don’t realize you have due to disorganization). If you make an appointment or a date with a friend or an organizer then you have no choice but to face the task. Just don’t let the friend that shows up to clear you of your clutter get talked into chips, salsa and margaritas instead. Really make a commitment to each other and you’ll be so glad that you did.
