Indication that you might need help
A spot has been a mess way too long. eg. OVER A YEAR
- storage room, closet, filing cabinet.
- a home office or space bedroom that's become a dumping ground.
You're looking for something, only to find it later, when it's too late.
- eg. BATTERIES (easily replaceable,) vs PASSPORT (not easily replaceable).
There are a dozen spots for things, and you're never sure where to go first.
- books, photos, scissors, or shoes.
- wastes time, adds frustration.
You're organized, but NEW items have no home.
- eg. POTTERY SERVING DISH, or CASE OF TOMATO SOUP.
The piles of paper never go away.
- not exactly sure what to do with what's in there; FEAR.
Most of your rooms have multiple purposes.
- The guest bedroom has become the sewing room, the kids' play room,
and the laundry folding center. No room for guests!
- The home office houses paperback novels, the DVD collection, and the dog bed.
Your surroundings are far from restful.
- looking around causes you stress.
- Clutter everywhere.
The children have left home, but you still have the same amount of "stuff".
- Their stuff, and stuff THEY have no room for.
- Stuff you thought they’d want when they moved out, but they didn't take with them.
You're moving and you don't want to have the same problems in the new place.
- DOWN-sizing or UP-sizing.
Last, but not least,
you're feeling like you just want to MOVE OUT, and leave everything behind.
