One of the biggest
excuses reasons I hear from folks about why they live amidst clutter is that they are waiting for the right time to have a huge garage sale where they can sell all their treasures.
If you're living in clutter...
- You're not boxing/sorting the mess in order to sell it
- You have ceased to see the clutter around you and perceive it as "normal"
- You are creating excuses for your clutter (like waiting for a garage sale) and not acting
The last reason is the most common. I hear time and again from people who say, "Well, this stuff isn't mine; it belongs to my son" (who moved out 22 years ago). You can't throw out someone else's stuff, but you CAN make them take it with them when they leave (or give them a time limit to come and pick it up). Stick to your guns and get it gone!
You MUST stop making excuses. You are too valuable to live in a mess! It's better to clean it all out and donate everything than to wait for some day in the distant future when everything will suddenly be "better". I have news for you -- it won't be. The time is NOW!
