I have friends who won’t invite anyone over because their place is a mess. As a big party hostess, I know the joy they’re missing out on by never having people over, plus living with the anxiety that someone might just stop by unannounced (horror). No one should let messiness limit their social life.
Also, today NPR ran a story called A Cluttered Kitchen Can Nudge Us to Overeat, Study Finds. So, for my friends and others:
- Do you still have boxes you’ve never unpacked from your last
move? - Do you have corners or closets with crap in them that you
keep telling yourself you’ve GOT to clear out? - Are you planning to move, but can’t handle the idea of all
the sorting and throwing away and packing ahead of you? - Does your place (or storage unit) just feel too cluttered and you’ve reached
your limit?
My friend, Sandy Spatz, is a professional organizer in the Chicagoland area. She not only helps with the nuts and bolts of clearing and organizing, she helps with any emotional attachments you need to work through, whether they’re the result of death, divorce, other loss or just feeling like your life is out of control. She gives a free consultation to see if she’s a good fit for you.
