Clutter in Your Home
The stuff which we hoard in our homes steals our time because we must care for it and provide
space for it and finally pay money to get rid of it.
Have you cleared out some of your junk before and ended up with almost as much as you started
with?
I’d start with enthusiasm and energy which quickly faded as I became stressed about the hours
ticking away with little in the way of results.
Tackle each section of your home systematically and you’ll soon see positive benefits.
Clutter black-spots could almost sink your ‘ship’. They actually costs you money! You pay rent
or council rates for the space and you lose the benefit, which could be financial or emotional, that
you will only have when the rubbish is gone.
Don’t try to do it all in a day. A couple of hours’ effort at one of these can give you a great start
with your campaign to reclaim your home and your life. After that, your energy and enthusiasm
wanes, so do something else with the rest of your day.
Memento Madness
We treasure our memories and enjoy them, but the tacky tourist tat may take over a large part of
our homes. Do you have tatty souvenirs of long-ago, or even forgotten, holidays?
We don’t actually want tacky, plastic trinkets or even bigger and junkier souvenirs – we look for
something which is within our budget to remind us of the wonderful time; the friends, meals and
adventures we had on that trip. That’s why we pay a few dollars for that plastic ornament and
carry it home to join the souvenirs of the other trips we’ve had.
But, then it takes our time to keep it dust-free and fills our living space until it breaks and is
finally put in the uncomplaining earth as non-degradable land-fill. The memories don’t disappear
when we tie up the plastic bag ready for collection, just the expensive dust-catcher.
The best memories are those which are in our brains and our hearts.
Filed and Forgotten
It’s the same, sad story with other things. We cut out, or copy, articles which we enjoyed or
thought might “be useful one day”. After a while, they fill boxes which clutter our already
groaning bookshelves. Many of us probably keep the whole magazine as well!
If we’re serious about cooking, we’ll store hundreds of recipes in binders, gather the ingredients
and push it on a testing panel of friends or family. Then, when we find that they don’t like it, we
don’t cook it again. But, we continue to store the ingredients and that useless recipe until the end
of time.
Other people collect jokes or patterns etc. How many do you have and how many of those will
you ever use again?
Kitchen
Pull out and get rid of the packets of food which are past its “Best By” date, chipped crockery
(serious germs hide in even the smallest crevices), empty or dried-up jars of spices, preserving
equipment if you don’t preserve anything, gadgets which you don’t use, containers without their
lids and lids which don’t fit any of your containers.
Medicine Cabinet
Get rid of your dried-out cosmetics, expired prescriptions for illnesses that you probably
recovered from years ago, colognes that smell worse than we ever could.
Be ruthless with all over-the-counter medicines, lotions and pills which have passed their “Best
By” date. They not only have probably lost their effectiveness but, worse, could have changed the
way they would affect you and actually cause harm if you used them!
Wardrobes etc.
You have clothes, shoes and other accessories that don’t fit or are out of style (if they were ever
in style!) Put them in a charity bag or three so that someone who really needs a hand can benefit
from them. Your reward will be the extra space.
Please don’t rush out for new clothes to refill it! If you kept some that don’t fit you any more for
when that new diet kicks in, throw them away now. When you’re slimmer again, buy something
which fits the new you and is in fashion too!
Getting a couple of new outfits will be more incentive from now to that happy day, than just
being able to fit back in to your old stuff.
Workshop
They’re useless, take up valuable space and they’re probably a potential fire or poisoning hazard.
Get rid of all of your:
× part-used cans of dried-out paint,
× dried-up or fur-less rollers,
× bald paintbrushes and those full of dried paint,
× bits of wood that you’ll never use,
× fittings (hinges, handles, knobs) that don’t match anything in your home,
× anything that’s broken (you don’t need it or you’d have already found the time to fix it),
× unfinished projects or parts for projects which you never started and
× remnants from jobs you finished.
Garage
Pass on to a charity all but the most treasured of those toys that even your grandchildren out
grew.
You might be able to sell any remaining parts for the cars you’ve already got rid of through a
cheap classified advert in your newspaper and then get something for your present car.
If you’ve got any:
× tires that don’t fit anything you own or would be dangerous to use
× excess or damaged barbecue or sports equipment (unless it’s your current sport),
× unused or unusable camping gear, sun lounge or pool cover
….. then, you know what to do.
Your Car(s)
Our vehicles generally become smaller versions of our homes, so your junk level at home will be
reflected in your car.
If you’ve got a Winnebago® or similar, there could be more junk in that than you have in your
whole house!
Now is the time to hit your accelerator and get rid of:
× expired air fresheners,
× candy wrappers and squashed candies,
× litter bags - great idea but don’t carry 3 spare packets in the car!
× broken or incomplete tools,
× unused gadgets and decorations,
× more than 1 rug,
× maps which are out of date or not likely to be required for future trips
× more umbrellas than the number of people that usually ride in your car and
× ALL jiggling decorations.
Take all food, drink, containers and wrappers out of the vehicle with you after every trip.
Keep a small, lined bin in the garage and clip a small broom and dustpan to the side of it, so it’s
quick and easy to give your car the once-over each week or after any long trip.
Your Basement
Put on your miner’s lamp and bag up:
× magazines and books that you didn’t read or finish or won’t read again
× empty storage boxes, cans and bottles
× containers with unknown contents
× old chairs that nobody can or would ever sit in
× games equipment that’s damaged or never used
× equipment for discarded hobbies.
Garden Shed
Like your garage, there could be more potential health or fire hazards here!
Put on your thick gloves and get rid of:
× Empty bottles and cans
× part-used packets of garden chemicals and all unlabeled ones
× damaged sprayers and other gear
× odd gloves or boots
× seeds that you’ll never plant
× broken tools, pots and trays and those which you won’t use soon.
The Big Stuff
The difference between children’s toys and adult’s toys is not just the cost, but the quantity and
the space they absorb.
People that have an attic, spare room or extra space in their garage will resist any suggestion to
throw out anything, with the casual excuse, “It will come in useful some day.”
The truth is that, unless you can find all of its bits and remember how to use it, then the time
you’ll waste getting ready is probably worth more than it would cost you to pick up another,
probably cheaper and more recent, advanced version when and if you might ever have an actual
need for it.
You can add to that:
• the value of the space taken up by all the unused items you’ve salted away
• the bruises you’ve received when you bump into them (or they fall on you) and
• the stress because you resist your partner’s repeated hints to get rid of the junk.
Sensible Recycling
Some of the stuff which you discard may be useful and gratefully accepted by charitable groups,
either for resale or for use in therapy programs and workshops.
A friend bought a couple of hundred old wooden matchboxes but had no use for the matches. She
thought someone might be able to use them – two shopping bags full. So, she phoned a local
workshop.
They were delighted because an associated group provided therapy for people recovering from
accidents and illnesses. The group packed some matches, glue and a plain wooden tray into a
craft kit. The patients filled in their time, and improved their dexterity and concentration, by
gluing the matches in patterns onto the trays which were then sold in the charity’s store.
Schools also use old newspapers, egg trays, soft drink bottles etc. Phone them to find out if they
can use the sort of material you will discard.
Make sure that they collect it with minimum delay or that you take it to them promptly. Your
focus must be to reclaim your home. Having bags or boxes waiting months for collection means
you are no closer to your goal.
Be responsible with the stuff which you dispose of so that you don’t add to our environmental
problems. If in doubt about how to handle, say, old cleaning chemicals, phone your council
waste-disposal department for advice.
