Clutter Calmer
You are happy to allow a bit of clutter to accumulate, like a pile of post or a few magazines and newspapers, and it doesn’t worry you because you know exactly what to do with it if it does accumulate a little.
If you have pets, children or partners they know that they’re allowed to create clutter but that it can’t stay that way for long – certainly not over-night.
You’d never allow clutter to accumulate to the scale of a whole cupboard or room as that would feel uncomfortable. If asked what was in your attic, garage or hall cupboard you would be able to name 6 out of 10 items, the other four being items that have been put there by someone else and are items that you didn’t know about.
If you were asked where certain things belonged in your home you’d be able to answer within 10 seconds. You’d only need time to think about where you last put it rather than where it actually belonged.
Newspapers and magazines are thrown out or recycled on a regular basis when you have a clear-up, and sometimes you keep them because they’ve got an interesting article or useful information in them that you’d like to keep.
You’ve seen the TV programmes that focus on the issue of de-cluttering and wonder how anyone could let their homes become that cluttered. To you the solution is simple – you do a little and often on a regular basis, at least once a week so that it never gets too much to deal. You can’t imagine ever having to do more than an hour of sorting out the clutter.
