Invisible Clutter

By Jennifer Snyder


Do you wish your clutter were invisible?  It may be more invisible than you think – especially to you.  When we live with items and see them day-in-and-day-out, they tend to dissolve into the background of our lives.  Want to see your clutter with new eyes?  Take a photo and post it on a social media site.  Your clutter in all its glory will quickly appear.

If you would like to see your clutter without revealing yourself to the entire internet, try sitting in a different spot or in a rolling chair.  Sit and observe your environment from places other than the normal place.  Stand on a chair in the middle of the room or even lie on the floor and look up.

Now that you have found your clutter it is time to do something with it.  How long has it been hiding?  Is it covered in dust?  If it has been years since you have laid eyes upon your newly found treasure, put it straight into the donation box.  (If you don't have one, make one right away.)  If you think you will use it – notice I didn't say "might use it" – clean it off and move to its proper home.

Not sure if you want to see the clutter?  Just remember that your guests sure will.  When all else fails, invite a friend over to be brutally honest about your clutter.  You have to see it before you can address it.
