Order

At a recent conference and over the past few months, I’ve heard speakers say something about order. How you should have order in your house, finances, etc. I immediately perk up because I’ve had a LOOOOOONG battle with clutter. I sometimes want to conclude that that’s just how it is. But as I look at the clutter day by day, I’m ready for change. Now it’s not like the show Hoarders, but just lots of stuff that I can live without and papers that I think secretly reproduce themselves at night. I’ve tried filing the papers, clearing out the closet of clothes that I don’t wear, using containers, and throwing out junk mail immediately. I still have too much stuff.

With Spring in the air, I am actually inspired to really clear the clutter this time. Especially since what I keep hearing over and over is order, order, order. I can take a hint. I have several organization books, of course (love books!). The one that I will use is It’s All Too Much by Peter Walsh. I love the subtitle, An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff. I really do feel that it is all too much. Sometimes the thought of doing the work is overwhelming. This time though, I’ll actually follow the steps instead of thinking about thinking about it or just complaining about it.

This is kind of like an adventure. I can’t wait for the discoveries. I can’t wait to find the things that I’ve been wondering about. I can’t wait to experience order in my house.
