Maria,

In response to your July 24 issue entitled, I Live Alone and My Flat is a Mess. Help!:

I've found the one way for me personally to motivate myself to clean and declutter is to have a 'party.' The idea of friends from our church, or a neighbor family, or even just one very special friend coming over to visit, can send me into a happy frenzy of de-cluttering, dusting, mopping, and polishing.

While sorting, fill a small box with some nice, 'too-good-to-throw-out' items. You might even wrap each item in pretty paper. Then, as guests leave your party, invite each one to take a 'gift' home to their place. It may be something they can use and love. If not, they may find it easier to give away (or get rid of) some of your 'valuable' stuff than you would. Tell them, 'Do what you want with it (keep it, donate it, trash it), but please help me out so it's out of my house.'

As a BONUS, after the party, your house will be all clean and smell wonderful (especially if you've baked brownies or cookies), and you'll have a nice memory of time spent together (and perhaps a few photos to share, too).

All people have clutter to some degree. You may have a little. You may have a ton. MOST people are somewhere right in the middle.

For anyone who has clutter, have no doubt in your mind that CLUTTER GROWS. Small clutter challenges soon turn into large clutter issues.

Plus, clutter is sneaky...it doesn't only show up in the pile of shoes you may have in your closet, the overload of toys in the toy room, the boxes of stuff in the basement, or the stuffed-to-the-max drawers and closets in your home. Clutter can actually invade your life in FOUR forms...

1. Physical Clutter
2. Paper Clutter
3. Digital Clutter
4. Emotional Clutter

Once clutter is here, it begins to wreak all sorts of havoc...

There is only one way to get rid of clutter...and that is by using a proven- effective clutter-removing system. Only then will you be able to face clutter head-on and have the clutter-free life you deserve.
