What is clutter?
There are people, and you may have already experienced this from family and friends, who are quick to say that you ‘should’ clear your clutter, you ‘should’ have your home looking, feeling and smelling a particular way, or you ‘should’ prioritise clearing the clutter you have.
We would like to see the word 'should' removed from the dictionary - after all, who has the right to tell anyone else how they 'should' live in their homes, unless they're commiting a crime?
Our definition of clutter is:
A mass of belongings that are:
- greater in number than can be accommodated by the space we have available to us
- disorganised
- are not being used or appreciated by us
- do not have a defined home
- coming onto the Clutter Conveyor Belt faster than they are coming off
To de-clutter is therefore to:
- adjust the amount of belongings to the amount of space we have available;
- organise the belongings we choose to keep efficiently and effectively:
- use or appreciate the belongings or items of clutter that are of use or of sentimental value to us;
- pass on clutter that have a use but either can be used by someone else for the purpose for which it was made or that we cannot accommodate in the space we have available;
- define a home for our belongings that are cluttered
- learn to control the accumulation of clutter in the future so that it doesn't come back to overwhelming proportions.
Most people have some clutter – whether it’s a drawer, a cupboard, a loft, a garage or a whole home. Many people live with clutter and never feel the need to clear it because it doesn’t bother them.
There’s one important thing I’d like to get clear right now:
Clutter only becomes a problem when it gets out of control,
makes US feel uncomfortable or distressed in OUR homes
and hinders or prevents US from being able to get on with living and enjoying OUR life.
