Is your house out of control with clutter? Do you have problems with controlling what happens with the clutter. I can help. Here are a few things that you can do to control it. For one turn off your cell phone and house phones. Turn off that television. Turn on the radio to your choice of music. Begin first thing in the morning. Here’s where you start. Start in the bathroom get it clean first put everything where it belongs. By doing the bathroom first you can at least get in there to go to the bathroom and feel like you have accomplished one thing. Move into the living room. Clean out all dirty dishes and put them in the kitchen. Put all items that do not belong by the doors to the rooms they go in. Do not put them away if you do there is a very good chance you won’t make it back to the room you were in. You are avoiding getting sidetracked by putting them by the rooms and not in the rooms. Get the room dusted and swept before you move on. Then put away the items you put in front of the doors. Now you have the first room done.

If you have a dining room go there next, and continue until the last room left is the kitchen. Do the kitchen last because of dishes. If you do it first and then there is a good chance you will have to redo that room. Dirty dishes, cooking lunch and anything else you may have to do.
If this doesn’t work for you then invite a friend over to help. They will help you clean while they are visiting. It is a good way to help keep you motivated.

After you get all done, keep up with it. Do a little each night to help keep it clean. If you have children have them help, it would be a great way for you to not feel alone cleaning your home. Keep a bag handy for getting rid of items that you do not want to keep anymore. When you make the decision to get rid of it, leave it in the bag do not go back through it. It will want you to rethink your decision. Do not think about it, just do it. Once it is done relax and enjoy it and Good Luck!
