8 Signs Your Home is Out of Control — and What to Do About It

It happens without warning. One day you notice your home has turned into a collage of papers, junk, and stuff – everywhere. You’re not alone. Today more than ever it seems that the flotsam and jetsam of living, like the waves of an ocean, continually beat at our doors, flooding our houses with all manner of stuff until our homes are bulging at the seams. A typical home is now cluttered and dirty to the point of exhaustion. All this accumulation also makes going home or being at home, a cause for dread because we’re overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things surrounding us. Can you relate?

Kathryn Weber has written an incredibly helpful article on Bellaonline.com called 8 Signs Your Home is Out of Control — and What to Do About It.

The eight signs are:
1. It’s messy.
2. It’s disorganized.
3. It stinks.
4. It’s dirty.
5. It doesn’t work.
6. It’s anxiety-producing.
7. You avoid having visitors.
8. It’s cluttered.

In her article, Kathryn gives in depth descriptions of what she means by each of these signs. But thankfully, she doesn’t stop there! She also offers eight steps to get it all back under control.

A very good read!
