Over the years, you begin to accumulate more and more “stuff.” If you stay in the same place for a long time, you may find your house is full of clutter. Many avoid tackling this issue because it can be time-consuming and boring. Home organizing experts offer 10 easy steps that over time can help you get your house under control:
- De-clutter the worst spot first.
- Do a garbage bag sweep to go through clutter.
- Pretend you are moving.
- Organize as if company is coming.
- Gather similar items and keep them together.
- Make a big decision to simplify.
- Ditch any extra stuff.
- Stay on top of paper clutter.
- Store seasonal items.
- Always use a shopping list.
Taking these easy steps one at a time can help you get ahead in the battle against clutter. Remember you don’t have to get it all done at once. Tackle it in manageable bites.
Council of Seniors Wants to Put Money in Your Pocket
Here at Council of Seniors, we understand how tough things can get for seniors. That’s why we’re pushing Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act. You need this bill because the annual Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) hasn’t provided what you deserved over a series of years. If it passes, seniors will be reimbursed the $581 that should have been included in their benefit all along.
Take time now to sign our petition! Let’s show Washington politicians the growing number of people supporting this bill.
We’d love for you to connect with us on Facebook and Twitter!
