lots of clutter

time to get rid of all this clutter.  I have clutter in every room of my apartment.  I start to declutter and then get distracted by other things going on in the family.  well now it is time to start back to work and school for

my two daughters.  I have one daughter starting college so that will give us one less

person living here since she is going to live

in a dorm.  I know, I can look at my schedule and see when things need to be done.  I can then add different tasks into my schedule.  I just have to remember that I am only one person and that I need to find time for myself

plus work, take care of the apartment, do

chores, and other things.  I know,  I can do it.  Yes I can I can do it.  I just need to work at it a little each day. I am not going to give up.  Does anyone have any suggestions.  I am open to them.

10 point plan - added: Sat, Nov 01 02:57 AM

I created this system based on the fact that if you get an unexpected phone call that a friend of family member is coming over you can get the house in order in under 30 minutes.

 

So what I try to do is every morning before I leave for work I put 10 things away and before you know it you will be up to 20. 

 

If you focus mainly on the living areas, you immediately feel better.  Then little by little you can get better at tidying the rest of the house. 

It is absolutely stupid how short a length of time it takes to tidy.  My 20 items tidy up never takes longer than 5 minutes.  

 

It has helping me be a tidier person.

 

I also recently had my car professionally cleaned and instead of putting any of my items in the front of the car I only place them in the boot.  For some reason psychologically I guess, I am not leaving rubbish behind in the car - I take a small rubbish bag with me and empty my car after each trip.

 

That's it for me!

 

Hope that helps!  Angie

 

Hope you have a great day.
