'Organizing isn't about stuff, it is about time,' says Ben Soreff, Professional Organizer at House to Home Organizing. Nowadays, people are too busy with their everyday lives to be able to catch up on things that really need organizing, especially when there’s an entire family to take care of, as well as a job and general life interruptions.
'The first thing that happens when you have to clean up in a hurry because you have house guests or have no place to sit, you turn to the ‘make it go away’ areas – places like the attic, basement and garage,' Ben says. 'Then you turn to drawers and closets. Once those fill up, the rest is the stuff of hard core clutter nightmares in which you start closing the doors to rooms and simply do not go in there. This doesn’t make you a bad person, we’re just all busy with life and you may not have a systematic philosophy and method for dealing with clutter.'
