That doesn’t mean the people in the homes have company, it most likely means the garages are full of stuff and there’s no room for the cars. I was recently on a television talk show in Portland, Oregon and I talked about how we Americans have too much stuff. The hostess of the show told me she’s embarrassed to pull out of her garage because it’s crammed full. I said, “Well at least you can get your car in the garage!” She said, “It barely fits and it's a three-car garage!” [I Hope You'll Want To Read More...](https://blog.cluborganized.com/is-your-garage-constipated) Topics: [De-Cluttering](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/de-cluttering) # [10 Easy Ways to Declutter Your Home!](https://blog.cluborganized.com/10-easy-ways-to-declutter-your-home) Posted by [Pam Young](https://blog.cluborganized.com/author/pam-young) Sep 14, 2016 5:30:00 AM [![](https://blog.cluborganized.com/hubfs/DSC_8709.jpg) ](https://blog.cluborganized.com/10-easy-ways-to-declutter-your-home)   # It’s no secret that countless families are deluged by household clutter.   Flylady says; “The most common clutter hot spots are children's bedrooms, home offices, attics, and garages.” What does it take to create a clutter-free space? Here are my **10** best home organization strategies straight from my book, [*The Joy of Being Disorganized*. ](https://www.cluborganized.com/the-joy-of-being-disorganized) [![Please accept this free chapter from my new book.](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/341571/5a21157f-3b07-4b78-bcd3-c39ac34ee38f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/341571/5a21157f-3b07-4b78-bcd3-c39ac34ee38f) ### **1. Stop Homelessness** One of the main reasons stuff piles up on counters, dining tables, coffee tables and floors is that it’s homeless. When an item has no "home," it gets added to an IPOD  (Important Pile Of Decisions). **The free chapter I'm giving you has great information about the IPODs in your home and how to eliminate them.** That’s why it’s important to make sure everything in your home lives somewhere. “Homing” items in the room where they're used, helps ensure that they get put away when you're finished. For example, I keep a sewing kit in a drawer of an end table in my living room, because I like to mend garments in that room and not in my sewing room in the basement. ### **2. Stop Clutter at the Cash Register ** Use that, waiting-to-buy time when you’re standing in line at the cash register, to re-think what’s in your hands or cart. Imagine it as clutter. What you buy today can turn into clutter tomorrow. The better you are about keeping things *out* of your home, the less likely you’ll be to create IPODs when you get home. ### **3. Baby Step your Way to Clutter-free ** Start with the room that’s bothering you the most. (In my almost 40-year career helping moms get organized, the kitchen is the room most picked by baby-steppers.) Marla Cilley, the Flylady says, “Start by shining your kitchen sink.” That’s so brilliant! In order to keep your sink shiny, you have to keep it empty. In order to keep it empty, you and your family have to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher. In order to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher, it has to be empty!

A couple of months ago, I took you on a pity trip and so many of you went with me! I loved all your responses and I think the "trip" helped many pare down the contents of their clothes closets! You all are so fun! If you didn't take the pity trip with me and if your clothes closet contains more than what you love and wear often, be sure to read my blog:** [Let's Take a Pity Trip](https://blog.cluborganized.com/lets-take-a-pity-trip).** Today I’m throwing a pity party and I hope you’ll have one too.This exercise is designed to help you dejunk your kitchen. Let’s pretend we’re going to throw a huge dinner party, only, just like on the pity trip you have to pretend you’re disadvantaged and this party is going to be as wretched as you can make it.    **You’ll be Serving Bad Food** First, you’ll need to search in the cupboards and freezer for old food. You know any cans or packaged products with words like “best by 7/14,” and frozen stuff you don’t recognize (and never will). Of course all the bad food needs to go in the garbage, but there’s nothing stopping you from pretending you’re going to make a giant and disgusting casserole out of all of it for the big pity event.  Second, you’re going to look at all your serving dishes with new eyes. Are there bowls, and plates that you never use, not even during the holidays? Are your glasses foggy from age? A good way to look at your stuff with new eyes is to pretend you’re at a thrift store and ask yourself, as you look at each plate, bowl and glass, “would I buy this?” See if you can fill a big garbage bag with kitchen utensils, silverware, glasses, mugs, chipped bowls and plates, and pans you haven’t used since 7/05.    On the 4th of July of this year, Terry and I had a dinner party for two other couples. As I was looking in my kitchen cupboards with entertaining in mind, I realized there were so many serving pieces I just don’t use anymore and I promised myself that after the party, I was going to dejunk my kitchen of them. That’s when I decided to pretend to have a pity party. It helped me get to the bottom of why I wasn’t using a lot of what I passed over in preparing for the 4th.   **Go Backwards** **** [I Hope You'll Want To Read More...](https://blog.cluborganized.com/how-to-dejunk-your-kitchen) Topics: [De-Cluttering](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/de-cluttering), [Organization](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/organization) # [Letting Go Can be Easy](https://blog.cluborganized.com/letting-go-can-be-easy) Posted by [Pam Young](https://blog.cluborganized.com/author/pam-young) Jul 11, 2016 5:00:00 AM [![](https://blog.cluborganized.com/hubfs/00000553.jpg) ](https://blog.cluborganized.com/letting-go-can-be-easy)   Many have a hard time letting go and it really doesn’t have to be that way. Now letting go of a person whom you love and he no longer loves you is a boo hoo, hard kind of letting go and it may take time to get over, but you know the saying: ***If he doesn't love you, let him fly away, unless you want to play zoo keeper.*** But the decluttering kind of letting go can actually be fun, because of a test question you can ask every time you get stuck holding onto an item that needs to go.   You'll learn what that test question is in a minute. First, here's a little story. Because of a contest called Project CHAOS (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome) I’ve been in over 100 homes that were crammed with too much stuff. My sister and I would pick a winner in a city and armed with television cameras, newspaper journalists and photographers; we’d go into the home of the winning family and de-junk a room. The “befores” and “afters” were always media fodder.   I remember one specific winner vividly. She was a physician (even doctors can have too much stuff) and she wanted us to help her with her personal, walk-in closet. It was jam-packed with fashions that spanned two decades and four sizes. She dressed well. Her clothes were purchased at high-end dress shops and department stores and most were designer.   [I Hope You'll Want To Read More...](https://blog.cluborganized.com/letting-go-can-be-easy) Topics: [De-Cluttering](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/de-cluttering) # [4 Reasons You're STILL Disorganized!](https://blog.cluborganized.com/4-reasons-youre-still-disorganized-0) Posted by [Pam Young](https://blog.cluborganized.com/author/pam-young) Mar 14, 2016 6:00:00 AM [![](https://blog.cluborganized.com/hs-fs/file-2458674587-jpg/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/as_seen_on.jpg) ](https://blog.cluborganized.com/4-reasons-youre-still-disorganized-0)          1. You are denying disorganization is affecting your life in a negative way. 2. You are comparing your organizational skills to reality show hoarders.  3. You are blaming your family for the mess  you’re in. 4. You are minimizing the problem and the gifts you possess to solve them. In Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) it speaks of the four defenses an alcoholic uses while he/she continues to drink. In *Get Your Act Together*, I wrote how SHEs (Sidetracked Home Executives) use the same defenses to remain in a mess. There is really no difference except for the outcome… drunk or disorderly. Like an alcoholic, once a SHE stops using the four defenses, she is then able to change. Could one of these defenses be holding you back from the life you want to live? ## **** [I Hope You'll Want To Read More...](https://blog.cluborganized.com/4-reasons-youre-still-disorganized-0) Topics: [De-Cluttering](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/de-cluttering), [Organization](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/organization), [Happiness](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/happiness) # [5 Basic Needs of a Sidetracked Home Executive](https://blog.cluborganized.com/wanting-what-others-have-is-not-a-basic-needs) Posted by [Pam Young](https://blog.cluborganized.com/author/pam-young) Oct 12, 2015 6:00:00 AM [![](https://blog.cluborganized.com/hubfs/Sophie.jpg) ](https://blog.cluborganized.com/wanting-what-others-have-is-not-a-basic-needs) # **** # **** **** # Wanting What Others Have Hurts You   “You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.” That quote is by Vernon Howard and he was probably never dazzled by brochures for fancy vacations or a catalogue from William Sonoma.

We want our homes to be peaceful, organized and a joy in which to live, love and play. In a book called *The Tipping Point*, the author, Malcom Gladwell, really grabbed my attention when he wrote about the *Broken Window Theory*. It was the brainchild of criminologists James Wilson and George Kelling. Kelling wrote, “Crime is the inevitable result of disorder.” Getting organized reduces crime.           I’m not saying because your house is a mess you’ll inevitably rob a bank or shoot your husband, but it’s a fair guess you’ve been late for church because you couldn’t find your car keys and broke the speed limit to get there on time, or you’ve been pulled over for driving under the influence when really you were just trying to put a little lipstick on while getting to your meeting. Wilson and Kelling claim, “If a window is broken and left unrepaired, people walking by will conclude that no one cares and no one is in charge.” They tell about the horrible crime in the New York Subways in the 90s and that by cleaning up the graffiti on the outside and inside of the cars, crime plummeted! A cluttered room, among other things is like graffiti. It’s symbolic of the collapse of a system. It sends a message that no one’s in charge and no one cares. Here are 6 simple household tasks that convey the same message as the graffiti-free subways did.     **Is there a broken window in each room?** Let’s use the metaphor of the broken window in each room of our homes and make “repairs” that will take you less than five minutes each. That means that in about 20 minutes you can fix five windows and you’ll show yourself and your family that you are back in charge and that you care.
