Picturing Clutter

If organizing or cleaning an area seems overwhelming – I’here's a trick that can help...

It’s that out-with-the-old time of year – and if it feels overwhelming – take a picture! When dealing with clutter it’s easy to get desensitized to the things we’re used to seeing. Taking a picture of the area can really help. By looking at a detailed photo of a specific area – your peripheral vision won’t be in play and you’ll get a clearer picture of what has got to go. The next step is to tackle the area with a box or garbage bag in hand so you don’t just move stuff into the areas you couldn’t see in the picture – which just pushes the problem around.
