Thanks for this post.
I love having a tidy home and having a place for everything.
However it wasn’t always clutter free. My version of tidiness was to hide everything away in wardrobes, cupboards and drawers. So when I went to look for something it would take me ages to find it. Oh the time wasting and frustration at not being able to find things…
It wasn’t until I realized how processes can free up so much of my time, that they became really valuable to me, they are my friend. And the more I incorporated them into my daily life the more I embraced them.
Thanks for these really practical ideas on being clutter free.

This all sound like having a system! My problem was that I hated systems for a long time as systems were things implemented at work to make our lives difficult. Once I got over that and I got to see that at home my own systems could really serve me, I got on the system bandwagon too and realized how they are great to organize your life.
The fun things is that once you developed and implemented them yourself they are a lot easier to stick to.

At our house, the mail clutter is the worst! It just gets out of hand so quickly. I have a system for almost everything else in the house, but the mail.

[...] As I may have mentioned, I frequently start to write a post in advance, sometimes spending a few weeks editing a given post, others, not so much. It was over a month back that I started a post regarding clutter and my strategies for eliminating it as best I could. I started down the path of tying back to the frugal topic by suggesting that space wasted in your home is space that you paid for and can be put to better use. Then, from a reference on Twitter, I ran into Serene Journey and Sherri’s series Eliminating Clutter. As I read through this wonderful three part series, I was drawn to the idea that the post I was working on would make a nice addition to Sherri’s blog as there was no overlap, my ideas were thoughts that complemented hers fairly well. We exchanged emails, and I am proud to offer you my guest post on Serene Journey titled Managing Common Household Clutter. [...]
