If it is true that the state of your house says a lot about you as a person, does your home say that you are a hopeless pack rat? Are you wondering how on earth you are going to declutter and organize your home and how you can kick the bad habit of keeping EVERYTHING once and for all? Perhaps you have read some of the decluttering tips on the internet or in a magazine somewhere, and liked a few of the tips enough to fill up one (or maybe two) bags with “stuff”,  but that’s where it stopped. Your pack rat days CAN end, if you declutter and organize your home with the right mentality!  Answer the questions below, and see where you, O Hopeless Pack Rat, are going wrong!

1. What do you like most about a cluttered house?
2. What do you dislike most about a cluttered house?
3. Think of a friend who has a decluttered and organized home. What do you see her/him doing differently from you?
4. What tools/supplies do you think would help you create more opportunities to declutter and organize your home? (Think storage.)
5. Where does your clutter come from? Is it mostly your “stuff”?
6. Why do you hold on to things that you don’t use?
7. How much “emergency supplies” do you really need to have on hand?
8. What percentage of the clutter around your house is actually better suited for the dump?
9. How much time on a weekly basis do you waste searching through your cluttered house for a particular item?
10. If you keep certain items “because they have sentimental value”, would you REALLY miss them? Or would the extra space and calm orderliness be of more value to you?
11. How much of your clutter would fit under the category of “So and So gave this to me and would notice if I had gotten rid of it and I don’t want to hurt their feelings”?  
12. What items would bring in some much needed (or frivolously expendable) extra cash?
13. Are there any worthy causes you know of that would benefit from your little-used items?
14. Why do you keep stuff you don’t use?
15. If you would declutter and organize your home, who besides you would benefit from your hard work? In what ways?
16. What could you do with extra space in your house, garage, or kitchen?
17. What lessons are you teaching your children with your “hopeless pack rat” ways?
18. Have you bought anything in the past few months only to realize when sorting through your cluttered cupboards that you already had that item?
19. When are you going to act instead of just reading about decluttering?
20. If you don’t act soon, when WILL you actually declutter and organize your home?
21. To whom do you dream of “showing off” your newly clutter-free home?
22. Why haven’t you gotten started today?

Now that you have worked your way through these questions, it’s time to get serious and declutter and organize your home. Perhaps some of the questions were challenging, and perhaps some made you laugh because you were thinking “that’s so me!”  The final question, “why haven’t you gotten started today?”, is one that you do need to deal with soon though.  Kick the little (or BIG) bug of “procrastination” on its tail and finally be able to say “I once was a hopeless pack rat, but no longer!” Declutter and organize your home once and for all!
