How to organize clutter | Real conversation with Audrey

by Gavriel Shaw

Does home clutter seem to stand out more when you're expecting company? It did for Audrey who contacted me on my live chat program using one of the buttons on my how to get organized now web site.

Take a quick read through this real conversation and find out the self-discovery and immediate and simple solution to Audrey's problem that she herself realized, simply by me asking a few qustions about how she organizes her life at present.

Problems with organizing your home clutter?

Audrey
OMG I am so unorganized. But it doesnt really bother me, UNTIL i have company.

I still know where everything is , but when I clean up, it's like I have no clue what I did with anything.

Hellp

Gav
hi

Gav
what's your name?

Audrey
Audrey

Gav
Hello Audrey. If you were to be given $1000 for coming up with the best answer to your own question, what would your answer be?

Audrey
Either that if it doesnt bother me dont worry about it or something quirky. I also work a full time job, go to school full time and I am a single parent

Gav
ok

do you regularly feel overwhelmed?

Audrey
i used to, i almost had a breakdown until i realized that everything is temporary and subject to change

Gav
do you feel you have a small or fair sized living space?

do you think you own too much 'stuff'?

have you sat and made a list of your rooms, and the ideal stuff you'd keep in each room, including each storage area?

Audrey
I do think I own too much , But I dont' want to give it to goowill and salvationarmy because they will only resale the thin gs . I want to GIVE them away ang have noone to give to

I do not think I have enough storage space

Gav
do you know anyone with a garage that they wouldn't mind you putting a couple boxes into for the time being until you figure out who to give the stuff to?

Audrey
nope .

Ive tried to organize but I only scatter things again

Gav
who would you give the stuff to?

Gav
you either need to keep it where you have it at home and create storage for it, put it somewhere else for safekeeping, or get rid of it pronto. can you see any other possibile option?

Audrey
when – i need like 30 extra hours in my weekn

Gav
throwing things away can be tough. clarity of life direction will help with what to keep in your life.

if time is a problem then i have a time management system at Time Management System.
Audrey
what do i do to throw them away

how do i let go even though I though I did

Gav
in the right hand column you'll find links to my reports, resources and programs

Audrey
I COULD GIVE THEM TO THE BATTERED WOMENS SHELTER!!!! DUh

i feel so retarded right now

Gav
we can talk again

Gav
let me suggest 1 more thing

Audrey
what

Gav
sitting alone with pen and paper can allow you to find many solutions to all sorts of problems

Audrey
u ask good questions

Gav
and asking yourself questions

Gav
wow we just had the same idea… yes, it's all about the questions. i write a lot about that .

Audrey
so… If i ask it will come to me

Gav
it may well do.

if not, read my articles until the right question or the right answer appears

Audrey
I write alot of songs and poetry, but not a lot of questions

Gav
then you already have good creativity and flexibility of thinking, just apply the same skill to questions about organizing your life

Gav
audrey that will have to be all for the time being, nice to meet you.

Audrey

Audrey
