Chronic Disorganization

Serious overload of clutter, one who is overwhelmed by disorganization, ADD, ADHD

Chronic Disorganization

A lot of the time, those with Chronic Disorganization are labeled as "packrats" or "clutterbugs." The average person with Chronic Disorganizaiton has around 3000 documents, 40% more housework on their to-do list, and 15-20% of their income goes toward late fees. They are often creative individuals, who cannot seem to stay on top of their chores. 

Eliminate "random acts of organizing"

Often times when we are organizing, we tend to divert our attention to the messiest center of the room. I recieved an e-mail from one of my clients explaining the experience she had with straightening up her storage room: "After two hours of working continuously, I stopped and looked around to see how this would look to someone who  was seeing it for the first time. It looked just as bad as when I started!" What I had done was what I'll term, "random acts of organizing."

Where to Donate Items

Finding "Happy Homes" for the items you no longer need and your extra stuff makes it easier to let go of them.

The link in this Better Homes & Garden article http://www.bhg.com/health-family/finances/how-to-get-rid-of-almost-anything/ has lots of places for you to consider. Need more ideas look on this website under header Residential and you will see even a larger selection.

Make “Snowflake Changes”

Well, does one teeny, tiny organizing project make a difference? Does one snowflake make a difference? No, but a bunch of snowflakes can change our lives. As our whole world/plans in East TN have been changed by an accumulation of snowflakes, you can change your world by making teeny tiny changes in your environment. This is true for your home and office.


Maybe it is just clearing off your night table. Not all the drawers, etc; just the top or even part of the top or maybe just do one drawer in your kitchen.

Are You a Hoarder?

With all the TV programs on hoarding, I hear many people calling themselves hoarders, or a family member may use the term to describe relatives.  While I think it’s good that we feel more comfortable talking about our overload, the term may often be used when it does not fit.
