Clutter

This was in our church bulletin this morning!

Make An Effort! 
 
 
 Learning to fight off new clutter may be easier than convincing yourself to clear out what has taken years to collect. To motivate yourself, try these things:

Make a commitment to gain control of the clutter. List your specific goals in writing, naming the spots, in order of priority that you want to clean up.

Mark on the calendar what job you plan to tackle each day and for how long. The goal is to do a little bit every day, even if it's only one drawer. Each target crossed off your list is a boost that keeps you going toward bigger tasks.

Recognize that it took time to accumulate all that clutter and that it will take time to get rid of it. If you backslide, don't be hard on yourself. Simply revise the calendar and try again.
