July 24, 2013 by Sue McMillin

Clutter, clutter, clutter – what's a gal, or guy, to do?

Clutter. Even as we toss clutter out the door, it keeps finding a way back into our homes and offices, robbing us of space, time and peace.

The space we lose is the most obvious. The time we lose, less so, despite the fact that time – unlike space – cannot be regained. But the true weight of clutter on our souls – on our peace – is even less perceived.

It’s not just our peace that’s affected, but the peace of everyone around us. And somewhere deep inside, we understand that the growing clutter is the result of many postponed decisions. The emotional toll becomes heavier and heavier until we simply ignore it. And those who continue ignoring it eventually become hoarders.

how to get him back

I love this quote by Victoria Moran, author of Lit From Within: Tending Your Soul For Lifelong Beauty. She captures my philosophy on peace and organizing so perfectly.

“A simple life is not seeing how little we can get by with—that’s poverty—but how efficiently we can put first things first…. When you’re clear about your purpose and your priorities, you can painlessly discard whatever does not support these, whether it’s clutter in your cabinets or commitments on your calendar.”

Got clutter in your home or office? What are you going to do about it – today?

Sue’s Story

I've been a professional organizer most of my adult life. Who I am and why I love my work comes from how I was raised and the mysteries of DNA!

From the most humble of beginnings in Kentucky to helping businesses and organizations across the U.S., I always try my best to share both practical and inspirational principles and techniques.

I hope you enjoy your visit here and come back often. And feel free to call or email anytime.

Even though you might reach me on my porch looking out at the Colorado Rockies, a born and bred Kentucky girl enjoys a good chat.

Order out of Chaos
