Is clutter and trash taking over your home, garage storage unit and shed? If clutter is bogging you down, cleaning up can help regain control of your and your life, but can require discipline, effort and enlisting some help.

Clutter has many definitions. It can include things that you no longer use, things that you have never used or uncompleted projects. The first step to dealing with junk removal is to commit to taking action. Then set some time aside to work and choose the room or area of your property in which you are going to start. Finally, gather a number of large boxes and trash bags, labeling them sell, donate and trash.

The key to sorting is to force yourself to move quickly and act based on your first instinct. If an item such as toys, clothes or small appliances is in almost new condition, sell it. If something is in good condition, donate it. If anything is broken or well used, put it in the trash along with personal papers and personal items. Keep working from one room to the next, setting goals for junk removal as you move along.

Be thorough and give special attention to “hotspots”. These are areas that tend to accumulate and hide clutter such as drawers, closets, under sinks and on top of the fridge.

But also don’t overlook larger items like furniture, exercise equipment and car parts. If something does not have a permanent place in your home, get rid of it. If you don’t wear it or use it, get rid of it. Keep reminding yourself that the end result will be worth the challenge.

Once the boxes and trash bags have piled up, consider enlisting professional help. Take the items for sale directly to an eBay auctions store to let them handle the sales.

Hire a cleaning service to get rid of all the trash in one large load. This will allow you to see the results of your efforts as soon as possible and provide encouragement for sticking with the task. This will also ensure that you do not have time to sabatoge your junk removal goals by changing your mind about getting rid of already sorted items.

While the results of such an undertaking are very rewarding, also consider some positive and creative ways to reward yourself for your hard work. Perhaps splurge on a housekeeping service to allow you to more thoroughly enjoy the results of your hard work. Or plan time to celebrate and enjoy your favorite relaxing activity like a soak in the tub or a night at the movies.
