End of Year Clutter Quiz

“When in doubt, leave it out.”

Unknown

This is probably one of the most common responses I have when someone asks me if they should keep an item. If you are asking, it means you probably don’t need it. Keep the things that one could not ‘pry out of your hands’ due to sentimentality or current usefulness but consider letting go of the things that don’t have a strong pull on you or your emotions.

Take the End of Year Clutter Quiz!

Who doesn’t love a quick quiz to see how you rate in whatever category of life catches your attention? Why not do a clutter assessment – just between you and me (and technically, it can be just between you and you!).

Here goes:

Do you have one or more rooms in your home that have the door closed so no one can look inside?

Do you have enough spare plastic bags to distribute to the entire neighborhood?

Do you have enough empty boxes to pack up a warehouse?

Do you have decorations stored that haven’t seen the light of day in decades?

Do you have every address label that you ever received from a charity? Notepads? Doctors Without Borders maps?

Do you have so many sizes of clothes that you could makeover your home to look like a department store?

Are you saving special toys and games because your children and grandchildren might use them but now the youngest grandchild is too old to want them?

Do you still have sheets of school photographs of your children in varying poses throughout their school years?

MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION – Did you accomplish what you wanted to accomplish in 2024 regarding your home organizational goals?

If you answered YES to even one of these questions, think about getting some help. If you have a trusted and patient person in your life who is reliable, give it a try. If you need a gentle but firm person who will get the job done without torturing you, consider contacting us. Aim 4 Order is fully staffed and ready to help you and your family and friends.
