Collections Become Clutter- 1

I am making a study of clutter in homes. In this connection I had a very interesting talk with my neighbor. She had lot to say about how collections become clutter. Th following is the summary of all she told me.

I have not finished the job of removing clutter but I still "plan" to get to it. There is a bag of baby clothes for a baby shower, plus a bag of clothes (some new and still have price tags on them), another bag of gently used clothes and assorted stuff that I have put away to give to charity. All of this stuff always ends up in my bedroom whenever company comes, and somehow they never get taken where they belong or taken back out of my bedroom.

What can we do with the collection of things that we have saved over the years that have turned into clutter? Sometimes the stuff is new, even with tags still attached while other things are gently used and have been collected to give to charity. Every time you clean the house, you have to either clean around the stuff or move the stuff to clean under all of it. Many times you will have projects half finished and others that have not been started but the materials for those projects have been bought are waiting to be used.

We have gathered up all the scattered clutter so now it is time to do something with all of that stuff, the "extras". I need to decide what to do with all those "extras". Those collections of scattered clutter are zapping my energy because I just don't know what to do with it all. Although I want to organize everything, I keep running out of time because there are always new projects and responsibilities that come up. So, it is now time, finally, to decide what I will do with all the scattered clutter that has been taking up space in my home.
