How To DeClutter Your Home Download

Did you do it? Did you take a good look at those amazing (and frightening) pictures? What they show is MY home, which was once a nightmare to live in. Few people reading this will have had a house this messy but I’m sure you can understand what I went through.


I’m going to tell you the story behind the above pictures and then reveal to you the formula I created to get my place DeCluttered fast and for good…


*knock* *knock* *knock* goes the door and my heart skips a beat. The first thing that races through my mind is "my place is a mess!"


One day my wife sat me down and told me she could no longer live with my clutter. She told me she loved me and wanted to build a remarkable life together, but all my "stuff" was getting in the way.


The clutter was causing us to fight. We couldn’t relax when we were home and when we were out we felt anxious about the chaos waiting for us when we returned. And of course, we both wanted to let people into our home without feeling self-conscious. We knew people were silently judging us based on our clutter.


And I knew she was right. I needed to change the way I lived. What I didn’t tell her was the question that immediately came to my mind…


I couldn’t remember the last time I had parked in my garage or even what my basement floor looked like. The clutter had become so overwhelming, I couldn’t imagine where to begin.


I can remember looking around at all the clutter and feeling paralyzed. I couldn’t take action and didn’t really know why.


And even if I somehow managed to start, I couldn’t finish and the clutter would pile back up in a week or two. It was unbelievably frustrating.


It drained me and my family of our energy and was always nagging at the back of my mind, screaming: "clean me, organize me, throw me away!" But I would just put it off until "later", which of course never came.


It didn’t take me long to realize that all this clutter lead to my clinical depression. And the more depressed I became over my out-of-control clutter, the more clutter seemed to pile up around me.


Maybe it was me trying to fill a void in my life and the fact that buying "new stuff" gave me a jolt of exhilaration.


I knew there was an organized person somewhere within me. I just couldn’t figure out what was really holding me back. Why I couldn’t get started and why my short bursts at organization faded away fast.


I was spending hours hunting around my house for things that should have been easy to find. I was leaving mountains of clutter pile up in my office, bedroom, kitchen and my living room.


I could barely even use my kitchen or find a decent outfit amongst my monstrous (and outdated) wardrobe.


And you know what made it so much worse? I knew most everything in my house was junk, but I still couldn’t bring myself to throw any of it away. It made me sick!


"Oh God, help me!" I prayed. "Help me transform this mess into a home once again."


That very night at around 2 A.M. on a Friday, it hit me! A lightbulb went off in my head. I thought about all the articles I had read online and all the books I had purchased over the past eight months. I thought about all the time I had wasted with no lasting results. And I realized…


I was doing everything backwards. I was approaching clutter in the wrong order. There was a "missing ingredient". Something I hadn’t considered until just then.


Simple: I spent loads of time learning different methods and techniques that would help simplify and organize my life but never actually used any of them. Or if I did, I stopped shortly after. This is the wrong way to approach clutter!


You see, none of that stuff really mattered because I was not addressing the root of my clutter problem.


So from that day on I decided to start with curing the root problem and then work my way up to using all the best methods and techniques I had learned.


I broke it all down into a simple to follow formula that allowed me to finally start organizing and maintaining…
