Think about your shoes for a minute or two. When you have to leave your home, a) is it very easy to find and grab a pair, b) is that pair appropriate for the weather and wherever you are headed, and c) is the choice you typically make a comfortable one?

I was helping out a client recently. She had about 50 pairs of assorted shoes, sandals, boots, flip flops, etc. and they were all on the floor of her closet in a huge pile. It took us about an hour to sort and find each shoe's mate. In fact, she showed me four shoe boxes in her bedroom...a brand new pair of footwear in each...still unworn. And after seeing what she had in the pile once it was sorted, those new shoes seemed to be unnecessary purchases...almost duplicates of other shoes she already had.

After all her shoes were paired up, we sorted by category and style: dressy heels, casual heels, casual flats, dressy sneakers, casual sneakers, sandals, boots, flip flops and so on.

Then we weeded out those categories that were in excess. In her case, she had 8 pairs of black heels that were nearly identical to each other. She also had 6 pairs of white sneakers. By the time we were done, we whittled her 'collection' down to 15 pairs of footwear...all were those that she loved, were comfortable, and were not a duplicate of another pair she already had. She put all the extras in a donation bag, and put that bag in her vehicle for Goodwill.

At that point, I went online with her and we ordered a shoe rack for her closet...a much better idea than the chaotic pile she previously had. In a few days, that will arrive and she'll have an organized system and no shoe clutter.

This week is as good a time as any to take a good look at the footwear you own. Are you happy with the volume you have? Do you have duplicates (or uncomfortable shoes) that you can donate? Are your shoes organized and easy to locate and choose when you need them? Make some decisions based on those answers.

By the way, if you have shoes, boots, etc. that you love, but don't wear because they are in need of repair, bring them to your local cobbler and get them fixed. If your shoes are in very good condition, except the heel is wearing down for instance, it's often way more affordable to have them fixed, versus buying a brand new pair of shoes.

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.
