Keep Clutter Away For Good
Dear %$firstname$%,
In last week's newsletter, I told you about an ADD-friendly method for getting rid of clutter. It involves 3 steps:
- Sorting your stuff.
- Creating systems that will work for you.
- Planning the follow through.
Today I'd like to focus on the third step, which is about maintenance. This is the step that proves to be the most troublesome for many people. After all, what good is busting your butt to get rid of your clutter if it's just going to come back in a few weeks?
There really is a better way. Adults with ADD have to learn to approach the clutter problem differently. Although it would be great to develop a habit of putting things away as soon as you're done with them, it just isn't practical for many ADDers. We need to allow for clutter buildup, and also allow for clutter cleanup.
The problem is not that clothes, papers, and other objects build up throughout the day, or even the week. This is pretty normal for ADDers. The problem is when the clutter builds up indefinitely.
You may think the only way to manage your clutter is to never let it accumulate in the first place. But forcing yourself into a habit that doesn’t suit you won’t work, and won’t stick. What's more practical is to allow yourself some freedom to let things go a little, and then schedule a regular time to get your space back in order. That might mean a quick cleanup session each day, each week, or each month.
Not only does this system take the pressure off, but it ensures that your space will never get so cluttered that you'll have to spend weeks or months to get it back in order. Having a maintenance plan is like having an insurance policy that protects all that hard work you did de-cluttering and organizing in the first place.
So as you start your Spring Cleaning and organizing this season, don't skip the third step in the de-cluttering process: plan your maintenance!
As always, feel free to leave comments about this article on my blog.
