How can I maintain clutter free home without constantly cleaning out and organizing?

admin — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:49:36 +0000

I moved into an apt. and try to create the hotel like (clutter free) atmosphere. I don`t own much stuff to begin with and before buying anything, I think where to put it etc… I take trash out every day. Yet without constantly organizing and cleaning out everyday, its hard to maintain the clutter free home..
Do you have any tips?

The key to being clutter free is constant effort. You have to be vigilant at making sure that everything is returned to its home.
But first you have to give it a home!
Setting up systems that you can use to make sure that everything gets picked up and put away immediately is key.
For example – I always suggest going through the mail and filing it right away BEFORE you take your coat off.

All the papers that need attention get filed into the action file, junk mail goes to the recycle bin and any thing that needs to be kept for reference but does not need action can be filed in a reference file where you keep papers in case you need them again.

But the key is every piece of paper has to have an address! and you have to put it there.

Another important part of clutter control is balance – whenever something comes in to a space something has to go! This requires constant attention to purging or editing your stuff and making sure that you are only keeping what is necessary and adding value to your life.

So in a nutshell:
*create a place for everything to live
*make sure everything is put in its home – don’t put anything down to deal with later
*regularly purge and edit your stuff
*establish good personal organization skills of decision making and sorting.

This should help you to stay on top of clutter most of the time.

What would be a good catchy name for an organizing/unpacking business?

admin — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:41:30 +0000

Also how much would you pay to have your home organized or unpacked? By the hour or a flat fee per room?

"Clutter-Free"
"Living Spaces"
"Freedom Moving"
"Pack Rats"
"Moving Hands"
"Friendly Movers"
"Neighborhood Moving Co."
"Stress-Free Moving"
"Organized Moving"
"Space Optimizers"
"Easy Movers"
"Space Solutions"
"Space Max Co."
"Space Stretchers"

I’d pay by the hour as long as I am confident that your people are professionals who won’t rush and break something but at the same time won’t slack off and stretch the time out. Don’t know how much I’d pay, you’ll want to anonymously shop your competition to find out what’s the average. You’ll also need to take into account how many people are working simultaneously. If somebody charges 60/hour but they have 4 movers and you only have 2, then your prices will need to be comparatively lower, for example.

I have a newborn baby, do office work from home (24/7 job) while husband does outside work (limousine company). I can’t seem to organize my time properly. I have no time to keep up with the phone calls and office work, clean the house, make dinner, take care of the baby, get enough sleep or take good care of myself (healthwise or appearance). I don’t even think about going out anywhere, or i’ll just mess up my scheduling even worse than it already is! I try to do the paperwork at night but this just causes me to not be able to wake up in the mornings to take care of the baby. please help me organize my time better!

Stay off of Yahoo Answers. kidding. New Babies are the worst time. Don’t be shy about asking for help from your spouse,friends,family. They will be glad to help you until your little bundle of joy hits terrible 2’s.
