			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop --><p><a href="http://dailyclutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/declutter-home.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-646" title="declutter home" src="http://dailyclutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/declutter-home.jpg" alt="" width="255" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Do you remember the old Lays potato chip advertisements that said &#8220;you can&#8217;t eat just one&#8221;? Since I wasn&#8217;t a potato chip eater (that is except if there was dip) I never tried their challenge. I was sure though that I could have ingested only one. I wasn&#8217;t going to go out and buy a bag to test their theory.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a professional organizer I organize with many people who have a hard time eradicating clutter. And here are times in all our lives that each of us has a hard time so let&#8217;s help to make it simple and easy. We all like simple and easy don&#8217;t we?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Eradicating clutter is all about &#8220;just one&#8221;. I got this idea on Friday when I saw I had one piece of paper to file. When it was filed my &#8220;to be filed&#8221; basket would be empty. I thought if we were to put away just one piece of clutter at a time then that place would be free of clutter-at least it would be one less clutter-e thing lying about.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After I filed the piece of paper I saw a couple of other things that needed to go to their homes and with those taken care of I left my office. But low and behold when I walked in my bedroom there were was a necklace I had taken out and it had never been put away, so I quickly slipped it in the drawer where it belonged. That place was now free of clutter by putting just one thing away.</p>
<p>That was so much fun I went from room to room to see if there was just one piece of clutter I could get rid of. (I wasn&#8217;t going to overdo it if you know what I mean). I was actually surprised that in every room there was one piece or item of clutter that I could quickly move to where it belonged.</p>
<p>Clutter does not mean it is something that needs to be thrown away or recycled it most often means it is something that has not been put back in its home so it is out of place and becomes clutter. Especially when it becomes a clutter magnet for other items.</p>
<p>Now is this doable or what? Really-clearing clutter was never so simple or fun to do. Beware- you will have such a great time giving yourself permission to put only one piece of clutter away that you may get in the mood to do even more clutter clearing.</p>

For a few, it was many years. You cannot organize year&#8217;s price of clutter in a day time. Therefore, focus on reducing the clutter area simply by area or space simply by area. Remember complete one room completely just before bouncing onto the following. You&#8217;ll swiftly get overwhelmed if you do not.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even though you could be getting rid of again drenched document heaps or perhaps clutter, become aware of your everyday behavior. So that you can conserve a clear space, there should be every day toss some time and every day &#8220;put points away&#8221; moment. This won&#8217;t have to take hours- Fifteen minutes max.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop --><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">The rules of clutter, or should we say, the rules of declutter should be established in every home to help the area remain free and clear of items on the floor, items on tabletops and items in other various aspects of the home. These rules of clutter are an effective way to reduce the clutter within your home while learning the tricks of the trade that are learned from professional organizers. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here are some of the rules of clutter that every homeowner should adhere to, in order to maintain the cleanliness and organization within their life. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you don’t use it, toss it! </span></span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is one of the basic rules of clutter, but many people do not follow this rule, making it is impossible for people within the home to have a clear living space. If you have not used, worn or made use of the item in at least six months than the item should not be kept within the home. These items can create clutter in the home. Set a six month schedule for yourself to purge items within the household that aren’t being used at least twice per year to reduce the amount of clutter in your life. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">Keep countertops and other surfaces clear</span></span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">Keeping these surfaces clear is an effective way to reduce the clutter in your life and help to maintain a clean lifestyle. Make this a rule in your home and make use of catch-all baskets and drawer organizers to ensure that everything in the home has its place. Teach children from an early age that items are not to be placed on the countertop; rather these items should belong in a specific area. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">Establish a System</span></span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">Everyone has their own personal organization system that should be established within the home to ensure that clutter is kept to an absolute minimum. Establishing your own personal organization system is an effective way to reduce the clutter in the home while increasing the order that occurs within the life. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">Searching through the internet to find an organization system that works for you, or speaking with an organizational expert is an effective way to make the most of your home. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">Using these methods, it can be an effective way to reduce the amount of clutter in the home through simple organizational rules that should be established and maintained.</span></span></p>
