Disorganized Home Research Paper

Decent Essays
Having an organized home is more than having everything packed away.

Some things should not be kept. Even packed away in a dark corner.

Clutter is anything that is in our way, out of place, and obstructing us from moving forward, being creative, or positively expressing ourselves.

Environmental clutter is the first level of disorganization.

A higher level of clutter is relationship clutter. How we feel about objects, people, and places can restrict our options prematurely. Being afraid or wanting to avoid issues will prevent consideration of valid alternatives. Restrict options and choices suffer. Poor choices predict a compromised future.

How we feel often directs how we behave.

HomeStorageOrganized.com is about arranging the pieces
