I know the feeling of being too overwhelmed by Junk Removal to even think about Cleaning. So how do you get started anyway?
Give yourself permission to hire a Junk Removal Company. Use that saved energy to get the Junk out of your house. Even if you don’t get to the deep cleaning you really want to do, your house will look and feel so much better. Once all of your unwanted Junk has been removed.
When Facing an Overwhelming Mess:
My #1 rule is to start with the easy stuff, and the easiest of the easy stuff is trash. Get rid of that Junk and you’ll reduce the overall mess, and reduce your overwhelm. I recommend using black trash bags, especially if you have kids, so they can’t see what you put in the bag and decide it’s their very favorite possession ever.
After you get through the trash, how do you decide what to do next, how do you keep going?
Do the other easy stuff. Look for things that have an established home, but aren’t in that home. Take them where they go.
But what if you’re not sure where something should go?
I have two simple junk removal questions, and they work no matter how overwhelming the junk removal project is.
Question #1: If I was looking for this item, where would I look for it first?
Don’t analyze, just go on instinct. Then (and this is so important) take it there right now so you don’t make a pile to have to deal with later.
If I can’t answer that first question, I have to be honest with myself and answer my second junk removal question.
Question #2: If I needed this item, would it ever occur to me that I already had one?
If the answer is no, I stick it in my Donate Box. If I didn’t know I had it, I wouldn’t look for it and would go buy another one.
What’s unique about my Donate Box?
It has to be donatable. I’m going to send the box itself off to be donated with the stuff that’s inside it. I don’t want a pretty Donate Box because then I’d have to transfer my Junk into another container before it actually left my house, and that’s a recipe for disaster. This way, I’m forced to make a final decision about each item as I either put it away or donate it.
Should you clean as you go?
If Junk Removal is overwhelming, the focus needs to be on removing the Junk, but having basic tools for dusting and sweeping is helpful so you can deal with the dirt and grime as you uncover the purge of unwanted Junk.
