Clutter Control and Organizing Solutions

It’s so close, yet many people haven’t even begun to think about their resolutions. Don’t worry, I am not delusional, I know not everyone makes them, but I do. Every year I vow to do all these things, and I don’t do them. Point blank. I mean to - really I do, I have good intentions every single New Years, but then the end of the year rolls around and I look back and I think - what happened?

I was really excited this year when I realized that one of my resolutions last year was to try to become more organized, and to do some more de-cluttering and I realized I had done both. I love the idea of living a more simple life - it’s a lot harder than you think. I have decluttered so much stuff, given it away, thrown it away, donated it, and sold it. I won’t say our lives are a whole lot “simpler” than before, but we are definitely moving ahead. My kids even each obtained a chore to do that is exclusively theirs to maintain, along with getting two of the five to keep a much cleaner room, less work for mom and just general a more harmonious atmosphere. It’s beautiful really.

So, I move forward knowing that 2009 will be very much of the same. More decluttering, more organizing and more sorting and storing. Do you make organizing and delcuttering resolutions too?
