____ 1. Use up some ingredients. . I found some Gochujang in the pantry the other day. I remember buying it, I had a recipe in mind. But for some reason, the recipe did not get made that week, and I did not slide it over to the menu plan for the following week. As time went by, the Gochujang got pushed back a bit further into the pantry, until I could not see it easily. This week, as I tidied the pantry, I discovered it. On the same day, I found a bag of frozen shrimp that had gotten pushed to the back of a freezer shelf. Has this ever happened to you? This week, scope out your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer for those forgotten ingredients and use them. If you are digging through the freezer, who knows, you may even find a forgotten casserole or two, and so you will have dinner already made.

____ 2. Sweep out the garage and dust the walls. With my family, our garage is pretty organized and neat. Garden tools are contained together, my husband's tools have a nice cabinet in which to live, cleaning and auto products are organized on shelves. But it still needs a bit of cleaning periodically. Leaves and dirt blow in or come in on the cars. Spiders spin webs in the corners and on the walls. If you find the same things in your garage, take a few minutes and sweep down the walls. Then move vehicles out and sweep out the leaves and other debris that have floated in. If you have a freezer or second refrigerator in the garage, take a moment to wipe it with a damp cloth. It can leave you feeling very satisfied when the garage looks clean and refreshed.

____ 3. Clean some smudges. I don't know where smudges come from sometimes. How, for example, do they appear in an upper corner of the mirror, or on a door at a height no one is likely to place their hands? But they seem to. Today, take a slightly damp cloth or paper towel and slowly go through the house, room by room. Look up, look down, and all around. Pay special attention to doors, mirrors, light switches, or wherever smudges and fingerprints are most likely to appear at your house. You may be surprised at what a difference it makes...how much cleaner the room looks. (By the way, if the smudges are on the walls, like near switchplates, Mr. Clean Erasers are great for this purpose!)

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.
