A casual observer will notice the prevalence of clutter-related shows on television. It's amazing how many people living in waste-deep piles of papers and collectibles are so desperate, they open their homes to the world via some TV show in hopes of being rescued from their own bad habits. And you--smugly watching--think, 'I'm not that bad.' Not yet, but in your heart you know you're just one shopping trip to the mall away from total chaos. If you're parking on the street, because your garage is packed to the rafters with stuff you haven't used or seen in years--keep reading.Do you accept gifts from family and friends when they buy new? The reality is it's cheaper to give them to you than pay to have them hauled to the dump. Just say no.Are you holding on to memories via the possessions of a deceased loved one? They live in your heart. Give those things away to someone who can make good use of them.Do you have buried treasure in your attic? Perhaps you're holding onto grandma's silver tea set because it's valuable. So valuable you're willing to do without that home repair you've been putting off? Get your priorities straight before the roof caves in.Perhaps you're avoiding success. Are you secretly afraid of what would happen if you had no excuses for why you don't exercise or write that novel? How would your life change if you could walk to the closet without tripping over the laundry basket?When the need for order and serenity at home outweighs complacency, you'll make the change. When you're late to work again because you couldn't find your keys or the dog soils the carpet again while you're hunting for its leash, something will click inside your head and you'll be ready to make that change. Hurry before you misplace the utility bill and get charged a late fee . . . again.© 2006, Clara Myers.
