10 Commandments of Clutter
Go Back
10 Commandments of
Clutter by Stephanie Culp
1. Stop procrastinating. Decide what you are going to do
with the next piece of clutter you pick up.
2. Quit making excuses. You are only fooling yourself.
3. Use it or lose it. If you're not going to use it, get
rid of it. Period.
4. Learn to let go. For every square foot of space filled
with clutter, there is one square foot of living space in
your home that is lost.
5. Be a giver. Poor, needy, friends, relatives--everyone
benefits more from a giving person than a pack rat.
6. Set limits on the amount of space allocated to any kind
of clutter. Limit closets, bookcases, and filing cabinets.
When one space fills up it doesn't mean you should buy
more space ( another house).
7. Use the In and Out inventory rule. When something comes
in, something goes out.
8. Less is more. Less = more time, money and energy. Also
= less stress.
9. Keep everything in its place. For example, the blender
doesn't belong in the bedroom or the mail in the bathroom.
10. Compromise. Stop letting perfectionism keep you from
doing what needs to be done, or from letting someone help
you dispense with your clutter.
Functioning
efficiently is better than functioning perfectly.
