One of my readers seems to be at her wits end trying to keep her son from tossing everything on the floor. She was so tired of the constant chaos that she wrote to me for help. This is her situation and my recommendations:
Dear Kathi,
I am a subscriber to Add Space to Your Life and enjoy reading and seeing people’s lives change by simply getting organized.
Well, my question involves my son. He is 8.5 years old and is the most disorganized child I’ve ever known, he keeps everything and most of it gets left on the floor or stuffed in a drawer. It drives me crazy and I need some suggestions.
He has school papers, books, toys, art/craft items, etc.
Challenge:
This is one of my favorite and youngest clients. She has the tendency to get overwhelmed by her clutter and become unable to sort through the mess on her own. She also has a self-admitted stuffed animal issue, meaning she has tooooo many!
Solution:
We managed to donate over 4 large bags of her beloved animals to the Police Department for the Sheriffs to keep in their car trunks and give to kids in distress. My client is now working her way toward living a clutter-free life and has told me that empty space is a good thing. How can you not love that? Add Space!
Testimonial:
“If people ever have a stuffed animal problem and need somebody to help them, I think Kathi is a good choice because she won’t let you make lame excuses. I used to think there was no such thing as too many and now I know that if you have over 100, you should really try to stop. It’s kind of like chocolate, it is hard to stop.”
