CLUTTER – IT’S NO LAUGHING MATTER

There’s something I would like to share with you. Although this may or may not pertain to you directly, I am sure you know of someone it will resonate with. Allow me to explain.

Over a span of 20 years, I have helped people create healthier environments for their home and office. By far, it’s been the most challenging and yet rewarding part of my career.

But what I think people do not fully realize is that clutter is no laughing matter.

Clutter hurts. Clutter depletes your quality of life and raises the potential for serious health issues. It is one of the major sources of stress and can exacerbate medical conditions.

The problem is that it’s not always easy for a person to live a clutter-free life. Although it’s true, 99.9% of the time people can learn to get organized, (it’s a skill-set that is trainable) it’s only half of the equation to living an organized life.

So why do so many people fail at living an organized lifestyle?

Well, from my experience, it is not just one simple answer. There are many reasons why a person may be unable to conquer their clutter. And, unfortunately, at times it can be rather complicated.

I am always in search of new information, new techniques, new ideas on how to help a person succeed. That’s why I am so excited to share with you a new program I have developed. I believe, (if followed exactly as I teach it) you can truly get to the root cause of the clutter problem and finally live clutter-free.

Of course, living a conscious healthy lifestyle is always a choice. But coupled with this innovative program, I’m betting on a high success rate to being and staying organized.

Starting this Fall, I will be rolling out this program on-line, in private workshops and at prestigious learning centers, including The New York Open Center. Filming starts mid August for a min-series accentuating wellness in the home and workplace. Truly, exciting stuff.

As always, if you need immediate assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me here. Until then, stay tuned!

The Cure for Clutter

A long corridor is filled with clutter: boxes, paperwork, unopened mail, clothes to be donated, you name it, and the hallway has it.

It’s been years since the passageway has been clear. Doing a semi-twist and turn to get from one end to the other is part of the daily routine. Actually, in truth, the external clutter seems to have faded into part of the décor and really goes unnoticed after all this time.

But that’s just the beginning. Just about every room in the apartment has stuff untouched or looked at in years. Opening bedroom doors and throwing things in, not caring where they land, has become a way of life.

Does this sound like true confessions? Yes, in part you can say it sounds that way. But for most, it is an opportunity to freely express and reveal their best kept secret. Given that it is estimated more than 3 million Americans never throw anything out, these untold stories have kept many people feeling an astonishing amount of guilt and shame.

Clutter in mass degrees creates a sense of disorder and chaos not only within the confines of our home, but in our mind as well. Although there is some speculation that after a while pack-rats and hoarders tend to dismiss this, I truly haven’t found that to be the case as of yet.

Because if this were true, there wouldn’t be an overwhelming amount of people who attend clutter support groups. It is here, that one feels safe to be “who they are” and to state what’s on their minds. It is also very liberating to be able to gather among like minded people and identify with their challenges without feeling judged.

The point is that people need support and want to find a means to end their clutter challenge. Whether or not the progress is fast paced or measurably slow, it has been my experience that clutter bugs need an outlet for their “cure for clutter.”

Despite that some look terrified, most look nervous, and a few look intrigued, by and large, I have to say, the popular consensus is most just want relief.

If you are feeling overwhelmed and stressed about your clutter, I urge you to find a way to connect with other people to talk about it. Consider joining a clutter support group – try several until you find the one you feel most comfortable with.

Did you know there are actually 50 cities in 17 states that have chapters of Clutters Anonymous, a 12-step recovery program? Some find programs such as these too over the top and prefer a less structured agenda. Others find support through on-line chat rooms or monthly groups that meet in different locations such as the support group I run through Barnes & Noble on a monthly basis. For more information on this support group, email me at [email protected].

Thanks for everything!
