How Does Clutter Affect You?

Ironically, the struggles are universal despite the lack of stereotypical backgrounds. As a side note, the fact that so many people rent off-site storage today makes me curious about how we are different from previous generations who had everything organized under one roof.

I watched a TLC special on people who clutter, and you really can't stereotype! There was an older woman who suffers from OCD, a young teenage girl who saves everything from her old Barbies to shopping bags, and a couple who are interior designers for a living! Crazy! It is a serious and sad condition, but it is treatable!

I'm delighted to have come across your article, just a day ago friends and I were discussing how clutter affects every area of your life. Your suggestions are very helpful. I especially accept the list of ideals to help eliminate clutter as a winner.

My husband just drops his stuff and sails through his day- my kids, being kids do the same thing. But, it's my husband that thinks that according to my gender and anatomy I responsible for keeping the house tidy. Like him I have a ful time job and food shop and take the kids to their different activities. He has claimed that because the home is not according to his standards, he has good reason to file for divorce. He was raised in New Jersey- but he'd make a great fanatic from a foreign country.

Getting rid of clutter can be very hard and time consuming. I spent an entire summer cleaning out my grandma's house, which may have been the definition of a cluttered house. I am still working on the basement and garage. Your suggestions are very helpful.
