When does clutter become a problem? The answer to this question is different for everyone. However, clutter becomes a problem for most people when one or more of the following situations arise.

  • It is creating feelings of depression or anxiety.
  • The need for more or better or newer things seems insatiable.
  • It feels like you are losing control of your life as your possessions take over.
  • The disorder of your living space prevents you from feeling comfortable or happy at home.
  • You conflict with other household members over this issue.
  • You’re ashamed to have friends and relatives over to the house because it’s such a mess, and you feel more isolated.

If you can relate to these situations, you can no longer ignore them. It’s time to take control and get organized.
