I am looking for some advice please. I care for an elderly women who’s house is falling apart due to lack of maintenance. Example is she pours buckets of water down the toliet to flush it. She doesnt see anything wrong with this? She has paperwork stuffed in her couch cushions. EVERY WHERE! If I try to clean up she always stops me and it stinks so bad!!!

As we say over at the 365 Days of Decluttering Challenge blog (http://365daysofdecluttering.blogspot.com):

Clutter comes in many forms–sometimes obvious and sometimes not. Physical clutter is obvious, although defining it is a personal opinion. Mental clutter manifests itself into visual clutter. When you purge the physical clutter, the mental clutter will follow it out the door!

As for me, I didn’t have much left to declutter in the grand scheme of things when beginning my own 365 Days of Decluttering Challenge. But, decluttering doesn’t end. We all consume. We all buy. And we all have the potential of letting clutter in the door or keeping it here when we get more stuff.

P.S. I clicked on the transcriptionist link in the About the Author section and it no longer works.

I used to collect a lot of things and keep way too much stuff. I have improved a lot but still have a way to go. I have a very small house and that makes it easier in a way but also a lot more difficult. With 4 kids there is a certain amount of stuff that you have to have, but at least I know that I can’t bring too much in. Now if I could only convince the kids (10,8,5,2) and the grandparents!! But on the positive side I don’t think I will ever have a problem with getting rid of too much stuff.

Ok – I’m a packrat. Not OCD, but I tend to save everything that even remotely could be useful (or used in a craft that I will never do). I have tons of craft supplies, rubber stamps, and yarn – more than I can use.

Of course, when you have that much stuff you can’t find what you know you already have!

This is one of my hot buttons! Clutter! Nothing takes up time, space and energy like clutter! We move every couple of years and it turns out to be a blessing. I don't want to move junk I don't need. So we have a good purge every couple years. In the meantime, I just pick a room or closet or cabinet every once in a while and de-clutter. On top of that, and you've got it right in your article, we try to stop clutter before it enters the house! Every once in a while, I go crazy and throw out too much. Stuffed animals and the amount of space they take up drive me crazy! So, I packed up a huge box of animals and put it in the basement. No one asked about them for months, so I gave them away. Within a week, my daughter started to ask about her big blue bear. It was suddenly her long lost favorite. She asks about it all the time now. She knows it was packed away but I haven't told her it was in the box that I gave away! Oops! Marci’s last blog post...Don’t get too busy for your husband
