Too Much Stuff To Deal With?
What Can You Do With All That Stuff Sitting Around Your Home Gathering Dust?
Have you ever glanced around your home and thought to yourself, why do I have so much stuff everywhere? The weird thing is it's most likely stuff you've had for years and the majority of it you probably don't even use. You might even scratch your head and wonder, how the heck can I get rid of it?
How much stuff is to much? Just look around your home. If you're home is anything like mine you can practically see every inch of your living space being ocuppied by some sort of item. Now I'm not suggesting you have to depart from your treasures, but, it is something to consider if that stuff takes up all your space.
How many nick knacks do you see on anything considered a shelf or storage space... Closet, garage, broom closet, table top, kitchen-counter, bookshelf, coffee-table, desk etc...!
I know I have way to much stuff filling my areas. Sometimes I find myself so cramped with papers, books and gadgets covering every piece of furniture that it becomes almost unbearable to manage. We all can become so consumed with material things that are really supposed to make our lives easier. Instead, these wonderful inventions end up making our enviornment more like a rat sanctuary.
If you think about it tough times are enclosing in upon us and all that useless meaningless junk we cling to is a bunch of clutter we really don't need. It's time to reevaluate and downsize...
So what do you do?
Organize
I have done this several times and the outcome always makes for better living... Before you get started, try visualizing what your space will look like without all the clutter. Once you have this vision in mind make a valid effort to plan on how you will dispose of unwanted items and arrange only the ones you need.
Donate
Figure out which things you can absolutely do without. Things that really don't have a monetary value. Pick up the phone and contact businesses such as Good Will, Bulky Item or Salvation Army that will come to your home and pick items up. More...
Recycle
Some items may be recycled. You can make some extra money by doing it, too. More...
