Fengshui Clutter Organizing

Small-time clutter can easily be managed once you are made aware of some very simple tricks and tips. First and foremost, try to designate a specific place for everything you find inside of your home. Minute but very important things like the mailbox key, daily mail, spare linens, picture frames, everything you can image should have a designated spot to call its own. This way when things are found lying around either on the floor or a table top, these things can be put back into their designated spots. Be sure to include what is known as a "catch-all" box or cabinet - this drawer is a temporary storage box for tiny things that might be misplaced like a missing socket to a set of socket wrenches that needs to be put back in the tool box when you catch some spare time. Be sure to clean out this special drawer from time to time (weekly or monthly) as this will help you relocate items that may have been misplaced throughout the home.

After a long day either at work or at home with the kids you find yourself setting things down in any available space. Having a small table top or bookshelf near the entry way of the home may prove as a vital tool limiting the amount of clutter that would otherwise occupy other tabletops of the home. Dedicate a table to the daily mail and newspaper. Once everybody in the house has had ample time to sort through both the mail and the daily times, shred them and get rid of them - ready the table for tomorrow's happenings.

Large quantities of clutter require extreme spring cleaning - out with the old and in with the new. Clinging on to unnecessary items in the home is always the root of this problem and often the home dweller finds it difficult to part with these things. Hopefully, I can convince those of you struggling with this problem that by donating and recycling these objects you are involved in a win/win situation. The chances are that somebody, somewhere else will find your older items to be of value and these objects that are so precious to you will be cherished and adored by somebody else. Selling these things online is another alternative to throwing these things away. Garage and Yard sales are other great methods of eliminating unwanted junk in the home.
