What is your clutter costing you?
The Cost of Clutter
There is nothing wrong with having an affection for clutter, but when clutter gets out of control and becomes an irritation rather than a source of comfort – its time to ask if it is costing you valuable energy and the opportunity to live a comfortable life.
Here are the Costs
- Monetary – buying stuff you don’t need
- Physical – moving all your stuff from one area to another
- Mental – worry and stress about your stuff
Start Small
Make a decision to have one area in your home that you are NOT going to allow stuff to accumulate. Several years ago I worked with a hoarder, this was his first Homework Assignment, he had to decide where he was going to designate a NO CLUTTER ZONE. He decided to have the area next to his stove, which was an area that was not cluttered. This client made a decision long ago not to clutter that area up with stuff because of his love of cooking. If you live in a home with others, make sure they know where the ‘No Clutter Zone’ is located.
The Simple Answer
Why does one spot accumulate ‘stuff’ while another doesn’t? There are 3 answers.
- You allow it
- You make the decision
- You make a conscious decision
Just like my former client, he made a conscious decision to not allow his ‘stuff’ to flow into a place where he loved to create. Realize when you make ‘That Decision’ your stuff will have to go somewhere. Spend some time creating some easy, natural-to-use systems to place your stuff or get rid of it – if everything has its own place your home or office will flow more efficiently and effectively.

That’s How I Sparkle!
Don’t Worry . . . Be Connected!
Many women today constantly worry and ask themselves, “Are my career and children in conflict with one another?” Women now dominate the workplace, and at the same time they want their children to thrive. That tension creates guilt and lack of faith. Women wonder, “Is my success at work disrupting my children’s development?”
The key to overcoming this worry and fear is to stop multitasking – it doesn’t work, and to be present in the moment. In other words, when you’re with your children, really be with them. Make it quality time and connect at a deeper level. As a former teacher one pet-peeve that would upset me is when a child waited all day to see their parent and the parent shows up to pick up the child with a phone on the ear – not connecting with their “eager-to-see and love-you- child” .
Turn off the cell phone, computer and television so that you can devote all your attention to your children. Read to your child, go on great adventures together – even if that’s just consist of a trip through the backyard, and always tell them how much you love them. Do whatever you can to build memories with them.
If you’re going away on a business trip:
- make a calendar
- for the two weeks leading up to the trip
- mark off the days together
This will help young children understand how days begin and end so that your time away won’t seem so long. Older children will experience less anxiety while you’re away because they’ll have had adequate preparation for the deployment. Then, while you’re away, set a time each day to do video conference calls (https://www.skype.com) with your children.
If you don’t travel but must work long hours, having a daily video conference with your children is a great way to build connection during the day. Ultimately, the more love and connection children feel, the less worry and fear you will have about impeding your children’s development.

How to tell if you are a Arts & Crafter
If you get excited about the stuff you will find when you click this link below 
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/ideas/
Then, you are a Arts & Crafter . . . nothing to be ashamed of, unless you do not have a project calendar to plan out how you will finish your art – tist creations!
I struggle too with my ADHD when I’m on sites such as Pinterest, Ikea and Martha Stewart. I get lost in collecting all the projects – that I must admit, I will never in my lifetime have the time to complete all the projects I have collected. But, I do want to finish a lot of them so I have created a Project Calendar.
(TIP: I set a timer when I am on sites such as Pinterest – it helps not to waste time)
I pick one or two projects every month – depending on the project. I put it on my calendar, I create my shopping list (if needed), I gather all my supplies and concentrate on that one or two projects for the month. Currently, I am planning out my projects so that I can I have the ones that are for Christmas gifts completed by December 15th.
Plan out your projects – remember Slow & Steady wins the race.
