Climbing Out of the Clutter — Tips from a Pro!
Saturday, August 19th, 2006If you could relate too much to my 5 Clues that your Home Office Has Too Much Clutter post, you’ll be happy to know that a Professional Organizer is offering some tips that can help!
Today’s SOB Business Cafe at Successful Blog included a link to 12 strategies for (finally!) letting go of stuff you don’t really need, an excellent article by Jessica Duquette.
While I poked fun at my clutter crisis in the 5 Clues post, I do have huge trouble parting with things. In a few weeks, we’ll be moving into to our new house, and I don’t want to be moving boxes and boxes of items with nice memories but not much usefulness anymore. I think Ms. Duquette’s suggestions will help me greatly in the process of sorting and letting go!
If you, too, feel submerged in stuff, take a few minutes and read some great strategies for climbing out of clutter. I’d love to recommend printing the post, but then there’d be one more piece of paper added to the piles — perhaps keep it saved and handy on your computer instead.
Good luck with your sorting!

Hi Jessica!
I agree about it being great to meet SOBs — it’s such an interesting and ever-growing community!
I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the 5 Clues list, and, of course, feel free to mention or link to it on your blog as well. Thanks for the compliment!
Amazingly, your blog has turned out to be a true godsend for me! Now sorting through all my stuff (in preparation for the move) has actually become rewarding rather than traumatizing! What a difference!
THANK YOU for helping folks conquer clutter!
