"Clean House"

Nov 15, 2008 10:37

I have been watching this show here and there lately, for ideas on decluttering and selling stuffs because I am attempting to do this with my own house. This show doesn't really focus on organization nearly as much as I thought it would. They make a few suggestions, but not much at all. One thing I have noticed though is the host seems to give ( Read more... )

I have a tangential rant about those cleaning shows.

The very first thing they always do is make the entire family cut down to one shelf of books. Not one whole bookshelf. One SHELF of books. If they came in here they would tell us we needed to cut our book collection by 99.999%. No joke.

Screw that.

Now that's just absurd! Yes, we have a lot of books, but that is hardly an issue in our clutter problem. Craziness.

My books are the only thing organized!

I've looked for tips on those shows re organization and they never seem to give any. Apparently, the way to get organized is to have a team of people come in and go through all of your stuff while you dedicate like a week to doing nothing else! Well, if I could do THAT I wouldn't need a show. Just a team and a freaking week off!

Pfft.

Yeah, I do not get it. And yes, our books are relatively organized. We have a bookshelf that we are getting ready to move, so that's kind of a mess, but once it's straightened out it's a non-issue.

I think I will look some stuff up on online today about organizing clutter and cleaning. I am sure there are lots of websites that can help me somewhat. I would love it if a team came in and did all this for me, but I don't think that's going to happen *sigh*
