Is Clutter Ruining Your Social Life?

We have numerous blogs on getting rid of clutter, such as the ultimate decluttering guide, check that out if you need some help. Now we are going to move on to some ways that clutter can negatively affect your life, your social life to be exact. So strap in and get ready to face reality.

Is Your Social Life Ruined Due to Clutter?

If you haven’t had any friends over due to the mess that is your home, clutter is mostly likely negatively affecting your social life, unless you don’t like people, then it’s helping. But on a serious note, if the clutter and mess are so bad you are ashamed, it’s time to take some steps to remedy this. We know it’s hard, but it will all be worth it in the end.

Living Areas First

Start by cleaning up the living areas first, the places where your friends would actively hang out. Seeing this space clean will give you a good boost as you will be able to imagine your friends hanging out. If you are having trouble with finding places to store items, maybe look into renting a self storage unit. They can be had for fairly cheap and will help with the decluttering process.

Bathroom and Kitchen

With all those warm fuzzy feelings flowing through you, it’s time to challenge the kitchen and bathrooms. In our experience, these are the problem areas for people who have clutter issues. Start by cleaning out everything built up in the sink and then move to clear the counters. The bathroom starts in the bathtub/shower and a lot of bleach.

Remember The Feeling

Once your home is clean, throw a party, invite your friends and show off your hard work. What’s important here to remember the feeling that it brings you, and use that to keep your home clutter-free from now on, your social life will thank you.

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
